(Jpost).Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met one-on-one Monday with Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu and updated him about the progress of Operation.
Olmert asked Netanyahu to join Israel's public relations efforts as he did during the
Second Lebanon War. Netanyahu's spokesman said he responded affirmatively and without hesitation despite being the leader of the opposition in the middle of an election campaign.
Netanyahu's associates said there was no conflict of interest, because he was representing the country and not the government. They said he would continue to criticize the government's policies of inaction in the Gaza Strip that were in force until Saturday.
The Likud leader was already interviewed Monday night on the American Fox News channel. He will give five interviews to international media outlets Tuesday.
