(Deutsche Welle-Germany) Tim Sebastian - Michael Oren, Israeli deputy minister for public diplomacy and a former ambassador to the U.S., spoke in an interview of events on the Israel-Gaza border.

And the people who were shot were presenting an imminent danger to our border and every shot taken had to have three clearance orders....We used lethal fire because there was no choice.

That order did not exist on the Gaza border."
