Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Thursday that a unity deal between Hamas and Fatah means that terrorists will launch missiles from the West Bank."A red line has been crossed, and Israel must decide what we are going to do," Lieberman told Israel Radio. "Hundreds of terrorists from Hamas will go free throughout Judea and Samaria."
