Olmert: Hopes this too shall pass

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said late Thursday following the publication of the allegations against him that “we are in the midst of processes critical to Israel’s future and security. I have been serving the Israeli public in various roles for over 30 years, and have full faith in its past and future.

I regret the hardship imposed on the public, my affiliates and my family. I hope this too shall pass.” (Efrat Weiss)
