Israeli Government On The Verge Of Collapsing Over Defense Minister's Resignation

BBC: Israel Defence Minister Lieberman resigns over Gaza ceasefire

Israel's defence minister has resigned over the cabinet's decision to accept a ceasefire ending two days of fighting with Palestinian militants in Gaza.

Avigdor Lieberman denounced the move as "surrendering to terror".
