Olmert says he will resign after Kadima elects new leader | Israel | Jerusalem Post

Olmert said he would resign from office upon selection of a successor, and would allow his successor to attempt to form a coalition.
The premier lashed out at his political adversaries without naming any of them - either from Kadima or other parties - personally. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who is currently in Washington, had been expected to hold a press conference later Wednesday - reportedly about the state of negotiations with the Palestinians - but canceled the statement, apparently due to Olmert's announcement.
