Zionist Cabinet Unanimously Approves January 22 as Election Date

The Zionist cabinet on Sunday approved a resolution calling for new elections to be held in 101 days, on January 22, 2013

The Zionist cabinet on Sunday approved a resolution calling for new elections to be held in 101 days, on January 22, 2013.

 

According to the Jerusalem Post, the upcoming elections colored Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's opening comments at the cabinet where he stressed three themes: that the government's policies have enhanced the country's security, created jobs, and helped university students.

Netanyahu praised the Israeli occupation forces' action in Gaza Saturday night against "global Jihad", saying that the Zionist entity will continue to act resolutely and with strength both in response to attacks from Gaza, and to prevent others.

 

In parallel, Netanyahu said, "the government was actively battling cyber attacks on the country's computers". He said – in comments sure to be repeated on numerous occasions during the election campaign – that to defend against these computer attacks he established a national cyber council to deflect the attacks, JPost said.

 

Netanyahu said this cyber staff was working on stopping cyber attacks by developing a "digital Iron Dome"  to defend against "computer terrorism."

 

"Just as we have the Iron Dome against missiles and a security fence against infiltrators and terrorism, we will also have a similar response to cyber attacks," he said. "But just like the building of the fence, time is needed to complete the project, and we are working on this in full force."
