Finance Minister Abraham Hirchson suspended himself due to a criminal investigation for embezzlement; the state comptroller published a blistering report about Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s influence-
peddling in his former role as industry minister; the attorney-general considered opening two additional criminal cases against Olmert; the Knesset extended President Moshe Katsav’s leave due to a draft indictment for rape; and the Winograd Committee published its damning interim report on the failures of last summer’s Lebanon War. read more
