Olmert Drops Slander Case against ‘Yediot’
Excerpts;
“Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has dropped his charges of slander against Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot, it was reported Monday.”
“Olmert first pressed charges against Yediot a number of years ago after they published information supposedly linking Olmert to the Greek Island affair.”
Commentary;
It’s very interesting that PM Sharon and Olmert both allegedly have connections with one David Appel, as apparently did the Sharon sons.

And his character references claim; ‘Omri Has a Giving Nature’
How could it be that Olmert went from being 37th ranked on Likud’s Knesset list from last elections to becoming Deputy Prime Minister, next in succession should the sitting Prime Minister die in office or become incapacitated as Sharon has become?
Batya’s not the only one who wonders;
“Could Mr. Appel have been the one behind Olmert’s sudden rise and promotion?”
Hat tip to Batya.
Thanks, I think this is one rotten barrel of appels.
