Tony Blair on Israel and Gaza. The fact is the Israelis stopped this morning, theyve had 80 rockets [fired at them] since and its just important to remember that these rockets are fired indiscriminately at the Israeli population, and because of the Israeli defence system and because of their evacuation procedures, their civilian casualties at present are minimal, however, if any of these rockets gets through their casualties will be significant. And, you know, frankly theres no government that could allow rockets to be fired at their civilian population in that way. Now, I could list you a whole series of criticisms about Israeli policy in general, but here, once they stop, the sensible thing would be for Hamas to stop and then both of them to go to Cairo and have those talks. And by the may my understanding is that these talks are to be without preconditions, so all the points that Hamas wants to make, they can put on the table with the Egyptians.
