Israel condemns testimony release

The Israeli PM's office has criticised a court decision ordering a commission into last year's conflict in Lebanon to publish the testimonies of officials.

A spokesman said the publication of such statements would cause severe harm to Israeli interests.

Several testimonies have already been published, but others including that of PM Ehud Olmert, have not been released.

The court decision allows censors to withhold any parts of the testimonies that could harm national security.
