Israel says its current campaign in Gaza is in response to rocket
strikes from Hamas militants and is aimed at destroying illicit
tunnels Hamas uses to smuggle arms. In more than two weeks of
conflict around 600 Palestinians - mostly civilians - have been
killed and nearly 4000 wounded. The UN Human Rights Commissioner
says Israel may have committed war crimes. About 30 Israelis have
died - nearly all of them soldiers.

Hardtalk speaks to Danny Danon a member of the Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party. He was dismissed as
deputy defence minister earlier this month for accusing the Prime
Minister of being too weak in his Gaza campaign. How does he
justify the high Palestinian death toll?
