Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni met with her French counterpart, Bernard Kouchner, in Paris. Kouchner condemned the rocket fire towards Israel and said that according to his country, Hamas is a terror organization.
Livni told Kouchner that Israel aspires to peace, like the rest of the international community, but that Hamas should not receive legitimacy in any talks over a ceasefire agreement. (Roni Sofer)
