 with security agents as he walks to the cabinet meeting room in his Jerusalem offices on March 15th. Olmert announced a limit of tonight in dealing with Hamas to bring about a massive prisoner release and swap for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. <br />\r\n++++++++++++++++<br />\r\nThis is really desperation at the last minute. Sort of like |Clinton trying to get a deal at Wye. Flexability is the key word today. I was supposed to go to Gaza for the day early, but had a call the cabinet was earlier than expected, so I covered and then went to Gaza, or just over the border for the shortest visit to Gaza I ever made - 45 minutes!',700,700);)
 talks with Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, Minister of National Infrastructure and a former defense minister, as the weekly cabinet meeting gets underway chaired by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (C R), who has a word with the Cabinet Secretary Yisrael Maimon, in his Jerusalem offices on 15 March 2009. Olmert announced a limit of tonight in dealing with Hamas to bring about a massive prisoner release and swap for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Next to Olmert is Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni who, it is reported, has held additional secret meetings with Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss forming a unity government. ',700,700);)

![](javascript:doblowup('Time for Shalit ?','/images/uploaded/up_tUmgrB.jpg','Noam Shalit, the father of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, checks the time as a young protester demonstrating for Gilad\'s release on the 987th day of his captivity inside the Gaza Strip sits wrapped in an Israeli flag next to a protest tent near the Jerusalem residence of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, on 08 March 2009. Gilad Shalit\'s parents arrived to the protest tent and said they intend to stay until their son is released in a massive prisoner swap with Hamas. Noam told reporter\'s today that he intends to stay in the tent \'until the end of Olmert\'s term, or until Gilad returns.\' <br />\r\n++++++++++++++<br />\r\nIsrael is negotiating with Hamas to free Palestinians with "Blood on their hands" for the release of Gilad Shalit. Sentiment in the country is very much in favor of doing almost anything possible for Gilad\'s return, including, for the first time, releasing many Palestinian prisoners who planned and carried attacks in Israel. This will send the message that "crime does pay," however it\'s been almost three years since his capture. The photo is a bit of a cliche - time for something, but works I think as a portrait of a patient man waiting for a long time, and whose time might be very soon. ',700,700);)

 of Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv fights for the ball in the final seconds of the first half of the top 16 Euroleague Basketball match in Tel Aviv on 26 February 2009. At the half Madrid was leading 46-35.In the end Maccabi lost by a few points but had no chance to make up the 19 point spread to go through to the next round, the top 16 in Berlin. So Maccbi is out. A very noisy game...And you thought I don;t do sports, unless running bulls is a sport, (which it is NOT).',700,700);)

 at a reception following the ceremony whereby all 120 Knesset members took the oath of office as the 18th Israeli Knesset was formed. Netanyahu and Livni had a working meeting a few days ago on forming a national unity government, after Netanyahu was tasked with putting together Israel\'s next government, but Livni said too many difference existed and she will not be joining a unity government with Netanyahu, but rather prefers to go into the opposition. There is another meeting planned with the two party leaders.',700,700);)

 holding baby Efraim, the youngest of her seven children named (L to R), Rahel, Menashe, Yehoshua, Mazel, Leah, and the eldest daughter, Ester (R). The Jewish Agency brought the family out from Raida, Yemen where Jews are being harassed by anti-Antisemitism. The Jewish community in Yemen now stands at only 280 people, with 230 of those living in Raida, and another 50 Jews living in San\'a, the capital. Most of the Jews in Yemen immigrated to Israel in what was known as Operation Magic carpet in the 1949 and two subsequent but smaller waves in the mids 60s and the beginning of the 90s.',700,700);)
 party chairman Avigdor Lieberman throws his hands up at the conclusion of issuing a short statement in the Jerusalem residence of President Shimon Peres on 19 February 2009 after Lieberman met with Peres and announced his party would support right-wing Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel\'s next prime minister. Lieberman however conditioned his support for Netanyahu on Likud and Netanyahu being able to gorge a broad coalition.<br />\r\n++++++++++++++++++<br />\r\nA broad coalition - with Lieberman and Livni? Interesting. ',700,700);)
