Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni vowed on Thursday to end Hamas's control of the Gaza Strip after an escalation of escalation of violence in the Palestinian territory.

"Enough is enough. The situation is going to change," Livni said in Cairo after meeting Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to discuss the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip since a truce expired six days ago.

"Unfortunately there is one address to the situation of the people in the Gaza Strip, this is Hamas, Hamas controls them, Hamas decided to target Israel, this is something that has to be stopped and this is what we're going to do," she said in English.
