The security cabinet last night approved Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s proposal to halt construction in the West Bank settlements for a period of 10 months,with Netanyahu saying:

“I hope that this decision will help launch meaningful negotiations to reach a historic peace agreement that will finally end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.”

Not very likely, especially given the fact the palestinians are seething that the freeze does not include construction in Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem.

Updates (Israel time; most recent at top)

11:50PM: Israeli drivers are not the best.

Let’s leave it at that.

CCTV video has emerged of a taxi crashing into a store in Israel in the middle of a busy shopping day.

Israeli website Ynet reported that the driver unintentionally chose forward gear instead of reverse, hitting the shop windows in full force.

Fortunately, the website says, no one was hurt in Beersheba, including a small child and a woman who stood at the counter close to the accident site.

The website also quoted Israeli police as saying the driver will not be charged, and the matter will be settled between insurance companies.

The Israelis were lightly wounded and the terrorist – armed with a knife and axe – was critically wounded after being shot by an IDF soldier.

“Highlights” include:

  • Getting a better look at Silverstein’s lazy eye.
  • Silverstein losing control of his hands (1:16-1:43)
