News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Ehud Olmert went on the attack against opposition leader Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu Monday morning, telling him that "there is nothing you are better at than distorting things."

Earlier, MK Netanyahu chided the Prime Minister for statements before the destruction of Jewish communities in Gaza almost three years ago that the government would respond swiftly if the Negev were to come under attack.

Likud Knesset Member Yisrael Katz accused the government "of not being able to solve the problem of the firing of short-range missiles." He said the solution is either to move out the Gaza population or to take over the region.
