(IsraelNN.com) The Labor party caucus decided a short time ago to back party chairman Ehud Barak and vote against the government Wednesday on a bill to dissolve the government. The decision effectively is the last nail in the coffin for the government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
Three Labor Knesset Members, Education Minister Yuli Tamir (Labor) and MKs Amir Peretz and Yoram Marciano did not vote on the caucus decision. The bill, sponsored by Likud MK Silvan Shalom, has the backing of the other key coalition party, Shas, as well as Opposition parties.
Prime Minister Olmert warned at the Cabinet meeting on Sunday that he will fire any ministers who vote against the government.

Kadima has been a disaster, especially with their forced repatriation of settlers from Gush Katif.
Wonderful news! (I think; not sure who is stepping into the breach.)
Olmert deserves to be thrown out of Israel to spend the rest of his days in exile. The man was a danger to his nation and an absolute failure.
This is only about 3 to 4 years past due. The intrest on this bill is going to be expesive. With a little luck maybe a Yahooo will take over the helm.
Get ready for Bibi.
I am waiting for a leader that loves Israel and will stand up for it. How long will I have to wait?

Olmert, good riddance. Prays for Bibi.
