And if the Israeli gov. says it just ain't so, it must not be the case...I guess... after all, with a man of peace like Barak taking over as Defense Minister, they couldn't possibly be preparing anything...except maybe negotiations...
That is why they had to hurry Peretz out of the Defense Ministry and install Barak...how could you accuse them of having any other reason? =============================== On the other hand, the Israelis may have leaked this sabre-rattling information to "persuade" Hamas - now that it has assumed full control of Gaza - to restrain its militants from continuing to fire rockets across the border into Israel.
