Opposition and Labor Chairman Shimon Peres, who is currently in Poland,
reacted positively to the assassination of Hamas leader Rantisi. "Whoever
deals with murder pays the price", he said.

[IMRA: Peres made the remark on an Israel Government television Channel One
news broadcast. Peres sharply criticized the killing of Rantisi's
predecessor, Yassin and earlier this evening Min. Uzi Landau warned that a
"Labor-Likud-Shinui sadwich" government would not approve such an operation.

Israel Government Television, that has bent over backwards in its coverage
to support Prime Minister Sharon's retreat plan, [for example on Thursday
night it grossly misrepresented the status of the Bush letter, leaving the
impression that it had to be honored by future administrations when in fact
even if it is an "executive agreement" it requires only a pen stroke by a
president to revoke it.] declined to ask Peres if he would have voted to
support the killing of Rantissi if he had to vote on it.]
