Zeevi Expects Olmert to Make Sure Father’s Killers Stay in Jail
Excerpts;
“At its Sunday morning cabinet meeting did Israel’s interim government finally lay out a strategy for contending with the fact that Hamas has taken over the Palestinian Authority? The Israeli and international media reports of the meeting could easily lead a person to think so.”
“Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. The interim government’s decisions Sunday show that the government has no policy for contending with Hamas. The absence of a policy is a result of the government’s lack of a basic understanding of – or its unwillingness to understand – the threat the Hamas takeover of the PA poses to Israel.”
“In declaring that the government had decided to stop all direct transfers of funds to the PA, Sunday’s headlines indicated that Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his associates have launched a concerted campaign against the Hamas-led PA. But the small print told a different story completely.“
“Over the objections of the IDF, the government is continuing to allow Palestinians to work in Israel. The government also rejected the IDF’s recommendation to cut off all links to Gaza and transform the passages from Gaza to Israel into international border crossings.”
Barak of IRIS also expresses concern at the Olmert Gov’t waffling and appeasement of it’s sworn enemy with this piece; Hamas: “We’ll Nuke You.” Israel: “We’ll Keep Paying You”
