Minister to quit over Lebanon war
Israeli Cabinet minister Eitan Cabel will announce his resignation today in protest at the critical findings of the Lebanon war inquiry, his spokesman says.
The government inquiry commission report, one of the harshest in Israel’s history, blamed prime minister Ehud Olmert and his government of faulty judgment in ordering and directing last summer’s war in Lebanon.
Cabel, a Labour Party minister without portfolio, is the first member of the government to step down following the report.
