Tonight close to 200,000 Israelis from the left, right and center showed up in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv to demand the resignations of Prime Minister Olmert and Defense Minister Peretz over their conduct of last summers War in Lebanon. The interum Winograd Commission report, (remember the Commission was set up by Ehud Olmert, not independantly), on Monday was a scathing indictment of Olmert, Peretz and Halutz's conduct of the war. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni called for the Prime Minister's resignation yesterday. And yesterday 26 0f the 29 members of Olmerts Kadima Party came out in favor of Olmert's continuance. I don't believe Olmert will last until the final report is issued in July. Peretz will be confronted in a Labor Party election by Barak and Aylon later this month. And former Chief of Staff Halutz is already long gone. The Kadima party members are so scared that Netanyahu may sneak back into power that they are all supporting Olmert.
