Olmert: I'm encouraged by support letters from citizens

The prime minister said he had yet to decide whether to run in the Kadima primary elections. "I said that I will address it in the near future and I certainly don't discount the possibility," he said.

'Taking care of important things'

Referring to the possibility of quitting his post but returning to center stage later on, Olmert said: "This is an idea I'm hearing from people, and the question is when to leave and when to return. Yet right now I'm occupied with one thing, which is taking care of the important things."
