So much for the Kadima Coalition resolve.

Ehud Barak caved, and authorized a "one-time" (until the next time) delivery of diesel fuel to the Gaza Strip reports Ynet News:
A day after Gaza went dark following the shutdown of its only power station due to Israel's decision to stop it supply of fuel to the Palestinian territory, Defense Minister Ehud Barak authorized a one-time shipment of diesel fuel to power the Hamas-controlled region's only electricity station. Barak also authorized the entry of humanitarian aid to the Strip, including medicines. Defense officials clarified that despite the drop in Qassam rocket barrages against Israel's south over the past few days, the current restrictions being imposed on Gaza will remain. Six Qassam rockets were fired towards Israel on Monday compared to a daily average of over 30 rockets recorded last week.
Only six rockets…oy, I am sure Sderot experienced a profound sense of relief for the "restraint' of Hamas….and only 4 rockets have been launched this morning. No doubt Palestinian snipers are relieved to be back on the job as well.
