DIPLOMATIC CORPS VISIT SDEROT

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

60 foreign ambassadors visited Sapir in Sderot - the Sha'ar Hanegev educational campus which constantly comes under attack by Kassam rockets on Wednesday February 13 2008. Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Tzipi Livni today hosted the foreign ambassadors and diplomatic corps serving in Israel on a visit to South Israel. There they met with Brig. Gen. Moshe Tamir, commander of the IDF Gaza Division, and Col. Nir Peres, head of the Coordination and Liaison Administration. After this briefing, Foreign Minister Livni said: "The situation in the region is unbearable, and the threat of terror from Gaza is growing larger from year to year. The problem is not only the Kassam rockets, but also the strengthening of the terror organizations. Israel must act to reduce these threats. Even if there is a lull in the shooting - don't let this quiet deceive you. The terror organizations are growing in strength, and planning for the future must be based on an understanding of this threat in the present." All photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye.
