Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee that the Hamas is not a strategic threat on the State of Israel.
Two days ago, Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin said Hamas did indeed form a
strategic threat.

When asked about the differences if opinion, Olmert said: "I highly value
the Shin Bet head but I do not agree with his view."
