were not safe in Khan Younis, so Israelis will not
be safe in Tel Aviv,” said Abdel Aziz Rantisi, a
Hamas leader. “We will strike everywhere.”
In Washington, State Department spokesman
Richard Boucher couched U.S. criticism of the
operation with a restatement of American support
for Israel’s right to self-defense.
"We’re deeply troubled by the reports of Israeli
actions in Gaza over the weekend,” he said, while
adding: “We’ve always respected Israel’s right to
defend itself, including going after armed groups
and armed men in some of these areas.”
Javier Solana, the European Union’s visiting
foreign policy chief, said he was shocked by the
number of casualties.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Hours after talks broke down
between West Coast port work
ers and shipping lines. President
Bush took a first step toward
ordering longshoremen back
onto the job Monday. Bush
formed a board of inquiry to
determine the impact of a dis
pute draining up to $2 billion a
day from the U.S. economy.
The board will make a quick
assessment of the economic
damage and determine whether
the two sides are negotiating in
good faith. Its formation was
required before the president
can order an 80-day cooling-
off period that would force
longshoremen back to work.
Bush has not decided whether
to take that step, said White
House spokesman Ari
Fleischer.
Bush signed an executive
order stating that “continuation
of this lockout will imperil the
national health and safety” and
forming the panel, which must
report back to the administration
by Tuesday.
“Clearly, the longer this goes
on, the longer the parties are
incapable of reaching an agree
ment between themselves, the
more damage it’s doing to
America's economy and hurting
people who are wholly unrelated
to events on the West Coast
because they work down the
assembly line, they’re down the
production line or the shipment
line, and that’s not fair,”
Fleischer said.
According to Robert Parry,
president of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco, the lock
out is sapping $2 billion a day
from the economy.
The Pacific Maritime
Association, which represents
shipping companies and termi
nal operators, has locked out
10,500 members of the long
shoremen’s union, claiming the
dockworkers engaged in a slow
down late last month.
The association ordered the
lockout until the union agrees to
extend a contract that expired
July 1. The main issues are pen
sions and other benefits and
whether jobs created by new
technology will be unionized.
