Using his Facebook page, Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi sent a message to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, beginning his Arabic post, “I wanted to send you this message by fax or email, but I understand that you no longer have an office, so I write to you here”, using Twitter.

“You take money from donations from Arab countries that are dedicated to the children of Gaza and you invest it in a war against us and think that you can defeat us,” said Davidi. “Yes Haniyeh, it’s not easy and we suffer sometimes, but look what happened to Gaza and your office and how our city’s boulevards thrive.

“For 18 years you have been launching rockets in our direction, but obviously you do not know how the city of Sderot has become a prosperous city, attracting hundreds of residents every year, more and more houses under construction.”

Davidi continues, “Tell me, what did you do during all of this time? Nothing! Just destruction and destruction.”
