Dr. Aaron Lerner – IMRA:
“He said that it must be clear to all Israelis in general, and to residents of the south in particular, that the Government will do its utmost in both the civil and military spheres, and that there will be no restrictions on action against terrorist elements and those responsible for terrorism.”

Our Parsha speaks about the reasons for the separate section delineated by the inverted “nuns” — “When the Aron (the Ark) would journey, Moshe said, ‘Arise Hashem, and let your foes be scattered, let those who hate you flee from before you.’ And when it rested, he would say, ‘Reside tranquilly, O, Hashem, among the myriad thousands of Israel.'” (Sefer Bamidbar, Perek 10, posukim 35-36)
Preceding these posukim are the posukim which speak about the journey of the Aron and of B’nai Yisrael from Har Sinai to their next resting place, “…a three day distance…” (Sefer Bamidbar, Perek 10, posukim 33 & 34).

Commentary (MB)
Yehuda Poch writes about former IDF Chief of Staff Amnon Lipkin Shahak’s recent radio interview. The interview came down to one crucial statement;
Shahak: If rocket attacks extend to include Ashkelon, then there might be no choice but to occupy Gaza.

“Olmert is demonstrating that he is incapable of responsibly advancing Israel’s interests. Indeed, his willingness to engage in surrender talks with Damascus shows that he doesn’t even understand what Israel’s national interests are.”
Excerpts;
It is doubtful that opening negotiations on an Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights would weaken Syria’s relations with Iran. Why would Syria consider distancing itself from Teheran when its close alliance with the ayatollahs is what is provoking the US and Israel to mollify it?

Unofficial Team [Including Pollster] Advised PM on Final Operation of Lebanon War, by Aluf Benn (Haaretz) via (IMRA)
Full Text;
Hours before deciding to launch a major ground operation in Lebanon last August 11, shortly before the end of the Second Lebanon War, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert consulted four people who hold no official government position.
In a meeting at his house, the four advised him to launch the operation in an effort to influence the United Nations Security Council’s emerging cease-fire resolution, but to halt it immediately should a resolution favorable to Israel be adopted.
