JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel is supporting armed groups of Palestinians in Gaza in what it says is a move to counter Hamas. But officials from the U.N. and aid organizations say the military is allowing them to loot food and other supplies from their trucks.

Avigdor Liberman sat down with KAN's Reshet Bet on Thursday in interview, claiming Netanyahu is arming militias in Gaza. The Prime Minister’s Office and a security source on Thursday declined to refute Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman’s claim that Israel is arming crime families and militias in Gaza to fight Hamas.
