Meretz faction whip Zehava Gal-On demanded on Monday that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert brief the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on the details of the alleged air strike in Syria last week.

In a letter addressed to Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz and FADC Chairman Tzahi Hanegbi, Gal-On said it was Olmert's legal responsibility to inform the committee of all military maneuvers.

"The [FADC] is the Knesset's supervisory committee for actions taken by the IDF and the government," wrote Gal-On. "The prime minister must report to the committee and divulge the considerations that led to the IDF's action in Syria, and whether or not all of the possible repercussions of such an action were taken into account."
