Could This Signal The End Of Olmert's Coalition?

Shas says it will leave
Ultra-Orthodox party announces its support of Knesset dissolution motion

Shas joins Labor in announcing it will support MK Shalom's motion for dissolution of Knesset, which makes for significant majority of MKs to pass motion in preliminary vote, scheduled to take place June 25
Read the whole thing.

Hat tip to One Jerusalem, which puts it succinctly:
As Olmert talks about cutting deals with Hamas, Shas has indicated that it will join Labour and vote to dissolve the Olmert Government on June 25. While Labour continues to talk about the desire for stability this action will most certainly bring about elections for a new Government.
