| Barak calls for Olmert to resign |
| 2007-05-10 |
| The Winograd report is harsh and calls for personal conclusions to be made by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, candidate for Labor party chair Ehud Barak said Tuesday in his first press conference since the release of the interim report on the Second Lebanon War. "The chief of general staff internalized its conclusions. The defense minister internalized them in his own way. I believe that Olmert will find his own way of doing so," said Barak. Barak said that if Olmert will internalize the report's findings, the road to a new government "that [he] could participate in" could be paved. If Olmert did not draw conclusions by May 29 (the date of the Labor primaries), warned Barak, he would act to bring forward the elections for the eighteenth Knesset. |
