During his remarks at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday morning, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert stated that US President George W. Bush called upon Israel not only to halt Hamas rocket attacks, but the terrorist organization’s ability to fire again in the future.
Olmert moved the weekly meeting from Jerusalem to the Defense Ministry to accommodate the defense minister and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, permitting them to address the meeting and immediately return to the war front agenda.
Red warning sounding in Sderot at this time. More to follow if required.

Can you please fix this confusing headline! :
Bush Calls on “Israel” to Halt Rocket Fire.
In the report you wrote:US President George W. Bush called upon Israel not only to “halt Hamas” rocket attacks
Please clarify what you mean.
The President is asking that Israel not end its operation until its finished off Hamas’ ability to fire rockets.
This is the full support the President of the United States is providing Israel. Enjoy it until 12:00 PM on January 20th. After that all bets are off.
