      Livnat: Sorry about Voting for the Disengagement


      Minister of Culture and Sport Limor Livnat joined a growing list of government and IDF officials Thursday in apologizing for her role in the 2005 “Disengagement.” In a meeting with Jews who were expelled from Gaza under the Disengagement program, Livnat said she was “deeply sorry” for having supported the process.

      "I am pained and deeply sorry, I ask your forgiveness for having voted on behalf of the Disengagement under Sharon,” Livnat told former Gush Katif residents living in the communities of Shekef and Amatzya.
