Israel’s corruption-tainted Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, will formally resign on Sunday, Israel Radio reported.
Ehud Olmert’s lawyers began on Thursday the cross-examination of a US businessman who says he supplied the then mayor with cash-stuffed envelopes.
Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak called on Wednesday for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to step aside over corruption allegations or face a collapse of his coalition that would disrupt peace talks with the Palestinians. This came a day after an American businessman told a court how he handed Olmert envelopes stuffed with thousands of dollars in cash.
