From Ha'aretz:

Mofaz: U.S. will keep up pressure on Iraq

By Gideon Alon

The United States is determined not to relax its pressure on Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the cabinet yesterday on the basis on his impressions from a visit to Washington last week.

However, he added, his impression was that the U.S. will first exhaust the process of international weapons inspections of Iraq before embarking on military steps.

Mofaz said that during his talks with senior American administration officials, the question of an Israeli reprisal in the event of an Iraqi missile attack on Israel did come up. He said he told the Americans that, as a sovereign state, Israel reserves the right to defend its citizens, but would exercise this right with caution.

Turning to the possibility of a missile attack, Mofaz said that Israel's state of readiness in the event of hostilities was "very good, much better in fact than at any time in the past."
