Olmert slår tillbaka

Enligt FN har man kunnat bevisa att Israel begått brott mot krigslagarna under sitt "krig" mot Hamas (snarare civila palestinier). Medan IAF och IDF befarar internationella sanktioner har Ehud Olmert byggt ett team vars jobb är att tackla ner rättsprocesser mot Israel för operation Gjutet bly.

"According to Ynet, Friedmann's appointment follows Attorney General Menachem Mazuz's statement earlier this week that Israel is "preparing for a wave of international lawsuits over the operation in Gaza.

"That in itself is nothing new. I can only assume that following the events, we will have more intensive and focused work ahead of us," he added."

"The new instructions from the military censor to the media were prepared in consultation with Attorney General Menachem Mazuz and his military counterpart, Brigadier General Avihai Mandelblit. Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi was also involved in the decisions on this matter.

In recent days the censor has forbidden publishing the full names and photographs of officers from the level of battalion commander down. It is assumed that the identity of brigade commanders has already been made known. The censor also forbids any reports tying a particular officer of such battlefield command rank (lieutenant to lieutenant colonel) to destruction inflicted in a particular area."
