Shortly after signing anti-smuggling agreement with Secretary of State Rice, foreign minister attends event at Washington Press Club. Several journalists take advantage of opportunity to shoot accusations at her over Gaza operation

One of the journalists called Livni a "terrorist" and complained that Israel was preventing reporters from covering the war in Gaza.

"What, are you like Zimbabwe?" another woman told the foreign minister.

The journalists took advantage of the opportunity and the stage to read out sections from human rights organizations' reports on Israel's conduct during Operation Cast Lead.

Livni's bodyguards were on high alert when at a certain stage one person, who did not introduce himself, began accusing Israel of murdering innocent civilians.

Livni only lost her peace of mind once, when she was asked by an al-Jazeera reporter if her visit to Washington was part of her election campaign.

"Nonsense," Livni replied, adding "we work together. Defense Minister Barak and I are doing the job. I work according to my commitments as the foreign minister. We work together with the prime minister to defend Israel's citizens."
