New photo Israel's defence minister quits over Gaza ceasefire

Israel's Defence Minister has resigned in protest over the Gaza ceasefire - calling it a 'capitulation to terror'.

Avigdor Lieberman announced his resignation today and called for early elections after a disagreement over the Gaza deal.

His shock resignation has thrown the government into turmoil.

Lieberman described yesterday's ceasefire deal with Hamas, mediated by Egypt, over Gaza as 'a capitulation to terror'.

He also said his party, Yisrael Beitenu, was leaving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition, leaving the premier with only a one-seat majority in parliament.

Lieberman told reporters today: 'What happened yesterday - the truce combined with the process with Hamas - is capitulating to terror. It has no other meaning.

'What we're doing now as a state is buying short-term quiet, with the price being severe long-term damage to national security.'

He added later: 'We should agree on a date for elections as early as possible.

'Despite the difference in opinion, I tried to stay a faithful member of the government for as long as possible, but it has failed.' 

Lieberman also said he fiercely objected to Israel allowing Qatar to deliver $15m in aid to Gaza last week, which was said to be used to pay workers who had not received wages.

Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, called Lieberman's resignation a 'victory' and said it was a result of Israel's 'defeat' this week.

Gaza descended into violence this week as Israel came under a heavy barrage of rocket fire from the Gaza Strip on Monday, a day after a flare-up in which an Israeli officer and seven Palestinians were killed.

An anti-tank missile launched from Gaza hit a bus in southern Israel, severely wounding a 19-year-old soldier.

Around sundown on Monday, militants launched 100 rockets in less than an hour, the most intense barrage since the 50-day war four years ago. 

The Israel Defense Forces said the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted around 100 out of some 370 launches from Gaza. 

Yesterday the Israeli army announced it is reinforcing Armored Corps and infantry units near the Gaza Strip, while the Israel Air Force struck over a hundred Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets on Monday night, including a munitions warehouse, weapons factory and a military compound and Hamas' Public Security offices

The fighting, triggered by a botched undercover Israeli military raid in Gaza, cast doubt over recent understandings brokered by Egypt and UN officials to reduce tensions.

A day earlier, Israel's prime minister said he was doing everything possible to avoid another war.

Late on Monday, an air strike destroyed the Gaza City headquarters of Hamas's Al Aqsa TV station.

In all, 200 rockets were fired into Israel by mid-evening, the Israeli army said as the Israeli military responded with strikes against targets in Gaza.

Elections are not due until November 2019, but Lieberman's resignation increases the likelihood of an earlier vote.

Lieberman, a security hardliner, heads the right-wing Yisrael Beitenu party, which holds five seats in the 120-seat Knesset, or parliament.

Netanyahu has defended Tuesday's ceasefire deal that ended the worst escalation between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza since a 2014 war.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
