Olmert Says Israel Should Pull Out of the West Bank

Ehud Olmert, Israel’s “lame-duck” Prime Minister, says Israel should pull out of the West Bank and East Jerusalem as the price for peace with the Palestinians.  What’s ironic about this is that Olmert cut his political teeth in the Likud Party, where he was a protege of former Prime Minister (and Likud Party founder) Ariel Sharon. Likud is known for its hardline stance toward dealing with the Palestinians.
