, has moved to Leb and intends to launch terror attacks against Israel from there, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman told the visiting US Ambassador to the US Nikki Haley on Friday.
"Action must be taken to deport him from there," he told Haley.
He said Arouri was joined by two other Hamas members. "The three, led by Saleh al-Arouri, will continue trying to perpetrate terror attacks against Israel from Leb, while at the same time strengthen the ties between Hamas and Hezbollah. All of this will be done under Iranian auspicies and with aid from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and (IRGC command) Qasem Soleimani," Lieberman said.
Arouri, the defense minister added, "is a dangerous terrorist who was responsibile for some deadly Hamas terror attacks against Israel, and he must not be allowed to continue with his actions."
"Leb is a sovereign country that maintains ties with the United States," he continued. "Israel views Leb as responsible for what's happening in its territory and the terror attacks launched from there. That is why it is important for the United States to work with the Lebanese government to deport the three Hamas members and prevent the establishment of another terror base in its territory."
Arouri, who used to be in charge of Hamas prisoners in Israeli jail, has been operating from

Contrary to Lieberman's claims, however, inside sources say Arouri moved to Malaysia, while other Hamas members headed to Leb and Turkey.
Lieberman and Haley, who met in Jerusalem, discussed several other security and diplomatic issues, including the fight against terrorism and combatting attempts to delegitimize Israel. They also discussed further cooperation between the US and Israel at the United Nations
