Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert today said it was not in Israel’s interest to agree to an immediate ceasefire in its battle with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
“Every extra day is one that drains the strength of the enemy,” he said. “Every day that passes is one in which the (army) reduces their ability to fight us.”
I think he just wants more days to further destroy Lebanon and kill more people....
Olmert spoke after Israel’s Security Cabinet decided to widen the army’s 21-day offensive in Lebanon, despite growing international calls for an end to hostilities.
The leader said Israel was “winning the battle”, and brushed off criticism that the army had failed to stop Hezbollah from firing rockets into Israel.
Olmert said that the success of the fight “cannot be measured by the number or range of the rockets fired at us.
“Nobody promised that at the end of this war there would be no missiles left that could reach us.”
