Olmert says he hopes Netanyahu will end his tenure ‘quickly’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer prime minister Ehud Olmert says he hopes his successor Benjamin Netanyahu will “quickly” end his term in office, but declines to comment on the ongoing police investigations into the prime minister.
“I’m not known as someone who remains silent, and I thought it would be appropriate to keep silent and not rush,” he says at a memorial service for the late prime minister Ariel Sharon according to reports in Hebrew-language media. “I wish the prime minister would end his term quickly and in a proper way.”
Olmert, who was prime minister from 2006 – 2008, refuses to comment on reports of the possible corruption indictment against Israel’s current leader.
