Israeli Prime Minister to step down

Source

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Scandal-hit Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced Wednesday he will not be his party's leader going into the next election.

I find the Timing of all of this interesting. Could it be possible that since Olmert is stepping down , he will have more inclination to attack Iran? Only time will tell!

I remember hearing on the news about a month and a half ago or so, that an ex-Israeli PM is probably going to win by a landslide in the next Israeli election. I think it was Netanyahu (spelling) that was going to win back then. The thing that was interested about that is that this ex-PM is trigger happy and said that he would be ready and willing to attack Iran. Do you happen to know when the election is in Israel?
