(IsraelNN.com) In an emergency session on Monday, the Knesset approved the government’s decision to embark on Operation Cast Lead against Hamas in Gaza. All Knesset parties except for Meretz and the predominantly Arab parties approved the decision to support the operation.
The session was punctuated by stormy comments made by the Arab Knesset Members, who were repeatedly thrown out of the session. The mixed Arab-Jewish party Hadash boycotted the session entirely.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that the Israel Defense Forces are paying careful attention to the fate of captured soldier Gilad Shalit. In an aside to Shalit's family, he said, “I will be in contact with you and it is better to avoid details on the situation at this sensitive time.” Hamas has announced that Shalit was wounded in one of the Israeli air attacks, but no evidence of such has been forthcoming.
