AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Israeli Defense Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, announced his resignation from the post, on Wednesday, in protest against the ceasefire agreement of the Israeli Cabinet with the Palestinian factions in the besieged Gaza Strip, according to Hebrew-language news outlet.
Sources reported that Lieberman called for early elections.
Lieberman described the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire with the Hamas movement as "a capitulation to terror."
In a reaction on Wednesday, Hamas called Lieberman's resignation a "political victory for Gaza".
