| "The possibility that diplomatic efforts over the next couple of days will lead to progress has now diminished dramatically,"
said Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt on late Saturday, Jan 3.
"The Israeli ground offensive is basically an admission that (Tel Aviv's) air attacks over the past week have failed to
achieve what they had hoped for," "Instead of seeking a possible political solution after this failure they have now chosen to dramatically escalate the conflict
with a ground offensive. It is obvious that this will make it harder to find a solution to this serious conflict," Bildt added.
