olmert the crook who will be going to jail for his alleged crimes, should shut the hell up. May he have a painful retirement and may prisoners in jail teach him some humility. He was a lousy negotiator, an appeaser with no positive vision of israel, an absolute military failure bar none, worse than any israeli leader, pathetic, a liar of huge proportions. Also, he was easily intimidated by suicide bombs, rockets, and turkish and arab leaders like erdogan and abbas. Why, because fear and greed run through his veins. His wife knows he is a weakling, yet catered to his ambitions because she likes the trappings of power. Where both of them are gutless as opposed to shalit's parents, is that they ran their kids out of the country to avoid direct idf or reserve duty to avoid paying the price. While all other israelis have no such exemption unless it is medical, they exert their exemptions as ehud knows how to play the system. That so many israel figures listened to this moron, like livni, is telling. How could you sit there with this moron? Unless she is also an idiot running around muttering 2 states and understanding,and we'll worry about the consequences after we sign a deal. These are the words of father olmert and his retarded daughter. You sign a deal because it is good for israel, not because you are afraid of the US. Screw them. Many of their policies are failures like carter and brzezinski on iran in 79. Remember the rescue mission when they didn't send enough helicopters to handle accidents or other situations. What asses! So Israel, though it has to be diplomatic ultimately has to do what's good for itself. Olmert never ever recognized this fact.

We didn't know if Olmert was actually that stupid or if he was being paid by arabs to give Israel away.

Bibi will continuii on the same suicidal course, talking to terrorists about peace giving in to evil designs and signing our death warrant at meaningless negotiations. He will give away everything for nothing,like you did, meanwhile claiming that this is a democratic process, for our best interest. As usual we will pay the bill for all your failures,so thanks for nothing and enjoy your fat not well deserved pension checks.

like the last embarrasing government! put israel first, give us priority over world governments.eg barrack obama. and if we go to war again, then let our soldiers finish the job.

The road of Leftism leads to the destruction of Israel. It is the antithesis to GOD's Restoration of Modern Israel in their Ancient Land of Israel. The Land of Israel is GOD-given and GOD-restored to the Jews.

How disgusting that a mealy mouth Olmert who gave up Israeli territory begging on his hands and knees for Hamas terrorists to be good to us now gives an order to Netanyahu to continue that failed policy. Olmert NEVER should have come to power and when out he can move to Gaza to be with his friends in Hamas.

The corrupt olmert is out His last breaths he tries to give advise and request that BIBI continue in his attempt to uphold annapolis.Olmert does not accept the fact the he was KICKED OUT.DISPOSED OFF THROWN TO THE DOGS(ISLAMICS) becuse nobody wants his stupid devision of Israel and ridiculas so called peace plan.Let lmert go to hell

Continuity of what exactly? Then the aricle said that he was smiling and "joking" with cabinet members, which probably explains what he really meant. The only thing that the new government should continue, or rather begin to work on, is to work for the good of the Jewish State -- security, economics, education, healthcare and the general well-being of the people. God forbid that the new government will continue the mess that the outgoing governement got us into! We must focus on the good of our country and not a pathetic party politics guided by pathetic politicians!!

Ehud Olmert will not go to jail. Full stop.
