Olmert to French foreign minister: A million Israelis are living in bomb shelters
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy that "a million Israelis are living for 11 days now in bomb shelters in northern Israel. The situation is similar to one in which sven million French people in cities like Lyon or Toulouse would be forced to live in bob shelters due to the threat of missiles launched by a terrorist organization. Would France be willing to accept such a situation?" (Ronny Sofer)
