Olmert: No UN Force in Gaza
[Ynet News] Ronny Sofer - According to a senior European diplomat, Prime Minister Olmert told EU ambassadors Tuesday, "We are not interested in establishing a multinational force UNIFIL-style to oversee the cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. Besides, if we allow such a force, you would [later] curse us." Olmert also warned of the possibility of a severe terrorist attack or rocket firing which could cause much harm and may bring an end to the Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire. The diplomat also said the EU stood behind the three Quartet conditions which included recognizing Israel, renouncing terror, and acknowledging past agreements between Israel and Palestinians. "None of the European ambassadors present at the meeting with Olmert asked for flexibility of those conditions," he explained.
