Ehud Olmert Will Resign After Israeli Elections

by Stephan Tawney on July 30, 2008


Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will not run for Kadima leadership and will resign his post after a new government is formed (must likely by the winner of the Kadima primary). Israel Matzav liveblogged the deliverance of his written notice:

He will not be a candidate in the Kadima primaries and will not interfere with them. He will accept their results. He is saying only a little of what he’s had in mind for months. When there is a new head of Kadima he will resign from office so that the new head can form a new government.
