Peretz should have been the minister of taxi drivers and waiters. Olmert appointed the fool so he must take responsibility for that.

Where is Rabbi Kahane when we need him the most?

It was reported in debka.com 4 days ago.

peretz only??? no all of the goverment leaders must resign... or be pushed out forthwith. never have so many problems externally shown up on such incapable israeli leadership.

closed down the country and now it is the country's time to close down Peretz. What goes around, comes around. He is a pathetic.

The guy is was the worst defense minister in our history and many of our soldiers were killed as a result. Olmert did nothing, but now when Peretz makes Olmert personally angry with a phone call, then its time for him to go. How sad. Talk about misplaced priorites. Forget the dead soldiers because of your imcompetence - you called Abbas. Oiy va voi.

If he have done wrong then better for him to get fired. There will be no need to cover up what the whole world knows already. Been fired will allow him to defend himself in ajust way then cover up. You guys there do no need cover up. Those are just rumor and i advice that if a change is needed do what is called rules rotation. for example: Mr.Peretz as FM or even PM Ms.Livini as PM or why not DM Mr.Olmret as FM or why not DM It is always good to try new thing but keep the good will. thank you

amir peretz - for the first time in 7 years i miss EHUD BARAK

It seems Israelis are completely blind to the traitorous misdeeds of Tzipi Livni. Her failed experiments, which she helped push through the Knesset during the Days of Sharon, are exactly what led Israel to defeat this summer. She brokered the "cease fire" with Rice, another mad political scientist who loves to experiment with Jewish lives in Israel. Together they caved to the lying French and handed Hizbollah a victory with a green light to re-arm under UN "observation" and protection. How this bitch flies under the radar in Israel is simple. She has a tricky disarming character. After her endless, serious and persistent harangues using lawyerly arguments, she pushes her theoretical experiments down people’s throats. She then flashes one of her coy and rare smiles. When the dimples appear the men cave. (Just go to the video tape & see for yourself). The women love her strong exterior and suffer from the same complex US women have with regard to presidential candidate Hillary. They are obsessed with seeing a woman in the white house regardless of her qualifications. Livni’s motives: a) Intellectual ecstasy from the self-delusional belief in the “brilliance” of her theories b) The ecstasy of winning the case. Livni’s failure: She wants so badly to prove she’s “right” at any cost to human lives regardless of how many failed experiments she created She is MUCH MORE dangerous than Olmert. With Olmert you know he is lying and bullshitting. With Livni, when they find out it’s way too late and they forget she’s to blame. The fact that she has a 51% approval rating in Israel is proof enough.

Peretz will make a relatively good President. Also remove this Livni at once and make Olmert PM, DM, and FM.

This whole Kadima government of incompetent fools must be brought down immediately before they can cause any more damage. We need elections now. Bibi for PM!

Why should there be secret talks about him leaving the Defense Ministry. If Peretz was a man of honor, then again just a man, he would have left all ready, and gone home to cry to mommy. He is an irrelevant fool, that even his party is turing on.
