The Army says this welter of weapons-tanks and helicopters, both manned and unmanned, all bound together with computer data links-will let soldiers "move, shoot and communicate better than ever before." But at a time when the military is still...
...said, ?but we believe that their aspirations for peace and a peaceful life remain unchanged." Then, alluding to Hamas? commitment to armed resistance to Israel, she said that the Palestinians can only achieve peace ?through a two-state solution, which requires a renunciation of violence and turning away from terrorism and accepting the right of Israel to exist and the disarmament of militias.
