Giving the gift of sight: Israeli volunteers from the non-profit organization Eye from Zion offer free cataract removal operations to poor people in developing nations, restoring sight to hundreds of people. Eye from Zion is now planning a mission to Myanmar. Part of the idea is to send doctors back to Israel for training, so doctors in developing countries can learn to take care of their own.

PM Netanyahu: "Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens our security, peace in the Middle East and global stability. With nuclear weapons, its powers of destruction, already considerable, would grow immensely."
PM Netanyahu: "The navy captured a ship that was carrying a vast quantity of ordnance, which had been sent by the Iranian regime from the port of Bandar Abbas to Syria. From there it was due to be delivered to Hizbullah. The main component of this war materiel was rockets whose sole objective was to attack and kill as many civilians - women, children and the elderly - as possible. This is a war crime."

On Friday, October 2, 2009, Israel received a videotape of Gilad Shalit speaking.
PM Netanyahu said that the footage is important because it verifies Gilad Shalit's situation and determines that Hamas is absolutely responsible for his health and well-being.
On June 25, 2006, Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists within Israeli territory, near the Kerem Shalom crossing to the Gaza Strip in an unprovoked and well-planned attack in which two soldiers were killed and five others wounded. Gilad is one of seven ISRAELI MIAs.

Addressing the Saban Forum in Jerusalem, PM Netanyahu said: "The way to achieve peace is through negotiations, cooperation and the agreement of both sides. There is no substitute for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and any unilateral attempt outside that framework will unravel the existing agreements between us, and could entail unilateral steps by Israel."

On his return from Denmark and the Netherlands, FM Liberman was interviewed on REKA Radio: "Our main objective for today is to try and organize a bloc of nine or ten European countries that would sympathize with us and vote with us. The times when the US and Micronesia were our only supporters are long gone. Our main challenge for today is not the governments, but rather public opinion, which needs a drastic change, and we are successfully changing it."
