JERUSALEM
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "Hamas should take into account that Israel would respond strongly against those who attempt to harm the country."
In response to a Gaza attack on Sunday morning, Netanyahu said the Israeli government is committed to "protecting tranquility in the south" and that they will continue their policy of pre-emptive action.
Israeli air forces attacked a Palestinian, allegedly held responsible for launching five rockets towards southern Israel last week.
UN Science, Education and Culture Organization (UNESCO) cancelled a planned exhibition this weekend in France titled "Ties Between Jews and the Land of Israel" because it could harm peace talks between Palestine and Israel.
Netanyahu strongly criticized the cancellation of the exhibition, which he said would not harm negotiations.
‘’Negotiations are based on facts,’’ Netanyahu said. ‘’Truth does not hurt.’’
Netanyahu, who will attend the World Economic Forum in Davos between January 22 and 25, is scheduled to meet Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and respective managers at Google and Yahoo.
