Israel: The Kadima Party and Calls for Olmert's Resignation

Israel's ruling Kadima party is calling on its leader, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, to step down in the wake of an inquiry commission report criticizing the way Olmert's government handled the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah conflict. Olmert, who has survived thus far because of the lack of a drive to oust him from power, likely will see the end of his career after fresh elections. His departure from the scene could have serious implications for the future of his centrist Kadima party.
