Hans Rustad Israels tidligere utenriksminister og nåværende leder av partiet Kadima, Tzipi Livni, sa det faktum at en Hamas-leder ble drept i Dubai var en god nyhet. Ethvert forsøk på å sidestille terrorister med de som bekjemper terror, er totalt forkastelig, sa hun.
«The fact that a terrorist was killed, and it doesn’t matter if it was in Dubai or Gaza, is good news to those fighting terrorism,» she said.
It is thought to be the first time a top Israeli has made such a comment.
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found dead in his room on 20 January, having been electrocuted and suffocated.
..«The entire world must support those fighting terrorism,» she told a Jewish conference in Jerusalem.
«Any comparison between terrorism and those fighting it is immoral.»
