If this is not food for the next police investigation of Prime Minister Olmert, then who knows what is? Can Olmert be working on behalf of this Arab mobile phone company merely in the interest of “confidence building (sic)?”
Or is this another case, just like Sharon, Weisglass and their connection with the PA’s bombed out Jericho Casino? One has to wonder about the existence of possible financial ties between Olmert, the Pa. and Pa. Chairman Chairman Mahmoud Abbas or Abbas’ son. MB
Olmert Promotes Arab Phone Company in Yesha
Full Text;
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has worked over the past several months to support the establishment of a new Arab mobile phone company in Judea and Samaria. Olmert has worked to provide frequencies for the Qatar-based company, despite objections from officials in the General Security Services (Shabak). The son of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is among the company’s partners.
Olmert’s aides said on Monday night that IDF officials and former Defense Minister Amir Peretz had supported the decision to grant frequencies to the new company. Olmert did not know that Abbas’s son was involved in the project, they said.
