Israel: Hamas to Blame for Gaza Plight

[Ynet News] Roni Sofer - Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni called on the international community on Sunday to make clear to Hamas that it is responsible for the predicament of Gaza's residents. During a meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, Livni said: "Israel cannot just sit by and watch as its citizens are attacked....The Israeli government has a responsibility to protect its citizens, and it is the world's responsibility not to turn a blind eye and use all of the means at its disposal to stop terror....Just as Hamas is to blame for the attacks on Israel, the group is also responsible for the situation in Gaza."
