PM 'regrets choice to give up on historic change'

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that he "regretted" Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz's decision to quit the coalition and "give up the opportunity to make a historic change."
In a letter to Mofaz, the prime minister said, "After 64 years we were very close to  fundamental change in the sharing of the burden, but I explained to you that the only way to implement this was gradually and without causing a rift in society."
"I will continue to formulate a responsible solution, just as the citizens of Israel expect," Netanyahu stated.
