Olmert's end may be near

Israeli government’s failure to halt the continuing rain of Kassam rockets on Sderot puts pressure on Shas to leave the government. The persistent stream of information on the secret negotiations between Israeli government and Fatah over Israeli capitulation to the Arab enemy (”the peace process”) add to the pressure. In response to the recent revelation of such talks in Jerusalem Post, Shas promises to quit the government. To prevent Shas from living, a convicted sexual offender dubbed prime minister Haim Ramon announced that no more than a vague declaration of principles could be signed by the year’ end.
Even the renegades from UTJ would hesitate to replace Shas in Olmert’s government which works to divide Jerusalem with Muslims.
As public approval of Olmert improves, both Netanyahu and Barak show interest in early elections.
