Peres rejects claim that Shalit kidnapping dented Israeli deterrence
Vice Premier Shimon Peres rejected claims by the Likud-led opposition that the kidnapping of Corporal Gilad Shalit has dented Israel's deterrence against Palestinian groups operating in the Gaza Strip.
"They say that what happened to Gilad Shalit endangers Israel's deterrence. I dispute that," Peres said. (Anat Barshkovsky)
