Limited cabinet including prime minister, foreign minister and war minister convenes to discuss Security Council resolution calling for ceasefire in Gaza. Livni says '"Israel" will act only according to its calculations, for security of 'citizens' (occupation settlers), in right of self defense'. Hamas says not bound by resolution
A few hours after the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1860 calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the limited cabinet including Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Defense (War) Minister Ehud Barak convened Friday morning to decide whether Operation Cast Lead should be expanded, or if fire should be held.
"Israel" has shown a certain level of apathy to the resolution, and Hamas has also stated it is not bound by and will not accept the decision.
"'Israel' has acted, is acting, and will continue to act only according to its calculations, in the interest of the security of its citizens and its right to self defense," Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said.
Vice Premier Minister Eli Yishai was more blunt, saying, "The world has turned into Haniyeh and Hamas' lobbyist. It's no matter for concern if this resolution stays on paper, our interest is all that matters."
