German Chancellor to Olmert: Israel Has Right to Defend Itself
[Ynet News] Roni Sofer - Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday that her country would support an Israeli operation in Gaza, in view of the ongoing Kassam rocket fire. During her meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Berlin, Merkel said the situation has only one solution and that is for Hamas to stop the rocket attacks. Should the fire persist, said Markel, Israel has every right to defend itself. People in Gaza are suffering, but this shall continue as long as the rocket fire continues, she added.
