| `I am not the assassination minister!` | | Aluf Benn - Haaretz - "Abu Mazen [Abbas] called me and told me he is going to convene all the Palestinian factions and declare a cease-fire," Peretz told the prime minister.

This reportedly infuriated the defense minister, who responded "I am not the assassination minister! I am the only one who should talk about the cease-fire, I am not responsible just for the level of fire!"

| Budget-saving, American-made cluster bombs left vicious legacy in Lebanon | | Meron Rapoport - Haaretz - "During the second Lebanon war, Israel made use of American-made cluster bombs that left behind thousands of unexploded bomblets, even though Israel Military Industries produces cluster bombs that leave nearly no unexploded munitions.

"The consideration is budgetary," a defense related source said." | 14/11/2006 |

| UN Security Council to vote on sending observers to Gaza | | Shlomo Shamir - Haaretz - The proposed resolution, initiated by Qatar, originally called for an "immediate investigation into the massacre that took place in Beit Hanun" and for the deployment of UN observers in the area to oversee the implementation of the cease-fire outlined in the draft.

At least four council members disagree with the proposed resolution, and the United States may veto it.
