An official statement by the IDF Spokesman expresses the Chief of Staff\'s objections to a withdrawal from the Hevron hills, as well as to the granting of benefits to the Palestinians that present a security danger and impede the provision of security to Israeli citizens and soldiers.



The full Cabinet is discussing the security cabinet\'s decisions this morning. It is unclear if a vote will be taken. A group of Women in Green is demonstrating outside the government offices, crying out, \"The voice of the blood of our brothers is screaming out from the earth.\"
