Israeli Deputy Minister Michael Oren: "No Soldier Fires at Will" on Gaza Border
(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. "There were dozens of attempts to cross the 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. And, last point: If they had broken through the border, many, many more people would have been killed including a great many more Palestinians....No soldier fires at will. That order did not exist on the Gaza border."
