Former Cabinet Minister Avigdor Lieberman, head of the National Union party: "Sharon is waging a policy of vengefulness and settling of scores. Is this the way to run a country?" Regarding Attorney-General Meni Mazuz's warning that an Israeli retaliation with missiles at civilian population centers could be considered a war crime, Lieberman said, "I am against hurting innocent civilians, but I think we're doing an injustice to the term 'innocent.' When you see people and children celebrating the deaths of our civilians, and youngsters playing with the head of our dead soldier - these are not innocent civilians."
MK Yechiel Chazan, who was chosen to represent Judea, Samaria and Gaza on the Likud Knesset list, had sharp words against the disengagement timetable presented yesterday by Prime Minister Sharon. "The times he presented are merely a way of tricking the public and the ministers who voted [in the Cabinet] in favor of a staged withdrawal," Chazan said. "The disengagement plan is dangerous, and creates a terror-state adjacent to Ashkelon."
Prime Minister Sharon and Education Minister Limor Livnat marked the opening of the school year with a visit to an elementary school in Maaleh Adumim, just east of Jerusalem. Likud members and high school students greeted the Prime Minister with a protest against his expulsion plan. President Moshe Katzav visited an elementary school in Sderot. The two leaders are scheduled to meet later today in Jerusalem.
