In a step which may create irreversible momentum within the prime minister's own party, Kadima action chairman and coalition chair Avigdor Yitzhaki Wednesday publicly called on Ehud Olmert to resign from office over the conclusions of the Winograd Committee's interim report on the conduct of the Second Lebanon War.
Underscoring the seriousness of his call, Yitzhaki issued what amounted to an ultimatum to Olmert, declaring that if the prime minister decided to remain in his position, Yitzhaki would immediately resign his.
"Today, during the meeting of the
faction, after I have stated my opinion that the prime minister should resign, if he decides that he will not resign, I will cease being the faction chair and the chairman of the coalition."
