Olmert made history by becoming the first Israeli prime minister to go to prison, in a testament to Israel's robust democracy and justice system.

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas for the first time conceded his rejection of an Israeli peace offer in 2008 that would have prepared the ground for a Palestinian state in much of the disputed territory.

At a meeting in Washington that year, Olmert told Bush that if the US did not destroy the reactor, Israel would, even if it lacked support from the Americans.

Those upset with Netanyahu's should put much of the responsibility where it belongs: on the PA. The Obama administration also contributed to the results.

A reported Hezbollah plot to assassinate former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was thwarted by an alleged Israeli agent who had infiltrated the terror groups' highest ranks.

An Iranian daily is calling for the assassination of PM Netanyahu's sons in retaliation for an IDF attack on Hezbollah terrorists and an Iranian general last week.
