WOULD OLMERT FOLLOW ABBAS'S EXAMPLE? It is being reported that Abbas' days are numbered:

The Jordanian daily, Ad-Dustur, on Thursday quoted "reliable Palestinian
sources" as saying that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas does not intend to
stand in presidential elections after his term ends in a year and a half.

According to The Jerusalem Post, Abbas may be gone even sooner than that:

They also pointed out that the 73-year-old Abbas, who has devoted more than
half of his life to "serving the Palestinian cause," believes that he and other
old timers in the PLO should step aside and pave the way for younger leaders to
emerge.

Abbas, according to some of his aides, is planning to call early
elections within the next six months.

Is it really too much to ask that Olmert--whose has similarly served the Israeli--follow his example?
