JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, facing corruption allegations and plummeting approval ratings, announced Wednesday he will resign in September. The move threw his country into political turmoil and raised doubts about progress for U.S.-backed Mideast peace efforts.
Appearing angry and reading from a prepared text, Olmert made the brief statement at his official Jerusalem residence where he harshly criticized the corruption investigations against him. He said he was choosing the public good over his personal justice.

What’s Obama going to do since he said if sanctions don’t work against Iran that Israel will strike? Maybe Obama’s visit was the final straw since his prayer was a set up as he released it to the media.

raised doubts about progress for U.S.-backed Mideast peace efforts. One does not make peace with cockroaches. One does not try to live with cockroaches. You expurgate cockroaches.

I hope this will not harm the ongoing plans to do what has to be done to Iran before Iran does what it said it will do.

Litvni is just as bad, if not worse than Olmerde. Unfortunately she is very popular with the drooling idiot Israeli public. And she will face Bibi in the next election.

AT LAST!!!!!
But it can’t come soon enough - Sept. is not soon enough!!
And getting one of his sycophants into the PM’s office is not exactly much of an improvement. Israel is facing critical decisions about Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas, the PA, etc. Bring on BIBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
