Hours before deciding to launch a major ground operation in Lebanon last August 11, shortly before the end of the Second Lebanon War, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert consulted four people who hold no official government position.
In a meeting at his house, the four advised him to launch the operation in an effort to influence the United Nations Security Council’s emerging cease-fire resolution, but to halt it immediately should a resolution favorable to Israel be adopted.
