![](javascript:doblowup('Ready To Be PM','/images/uploaded/up_S1wLJf.jpg','Interim Prime Minister Ehud Olmert responds to a question about his future government\'s plan concering Jewish settlements in the West Bank during a ceremony in the Jerusalem residence of Israeli President Moshe Katsav on April 6, 2006 as Olmert is tasked by the president with forming Israel\'s next government. I\'e been off the web for a while, but not totally out from working - so will catch up with some recent photos. I\'m posting this on April 11, as it was announced that PM Ariel Sharon is permanently incapacitated and no longer holds the title of Prime Minister, as it has been 100 days since his massive stroke. This leads the way for Olmert to become Prime Minister rather than "interim" prime minister. ',700,700);)
![](javascript:doblowup('Kiss of Confidence','/images/uploaded/up_kukV8e.jpg','Kadima party leader Ehud Olmert kisses his wife Aliza after they were presented a bouquet of flowers at the conclusion of his victory and acceptance speech after winning the Israeli election on March 29, 2006. Aliza is both a photographer, and artist, and writer and a very left-wing partner to Olmert who was himself once very right-wing. A vertical picture in the mix is always nice for editors who are space-short. Of course all the pix from the "jubilation" were transmitted after 2 AM, so probably are not in print by the time I send them to the server, in the evening. Have to wait until the morning.

, and a third entity Olmert should have the strongest Israeli government put together in a decade. Israelis still like to say there will be new elections in another two years. Could be, but there might be less West Bank settlement by that time.....',700,700);){kind=spacer}

![](javascript:doblowup('Portable Vote','/images/uploaded/up_LaUDPC.jpg','Israeli soldiers carry a voting box and a voting booth past barbed wire and cement walls protecting an Israeli army guard tower along the international southern border with both Egypt and the Gaza Strip, near Kerem Shalom, as they completed the voting process for soldiers stationed at the post on March 27, 2006, a day before the Israeli public goes to the polls. A total of six Israeli soldiers are stationed here and they all cast their votes. The army delivers polling material to all such outposts where soldiers cannot leave a position unattended for security reasons, so all soldiers serving in uniform can participate in the election. A serious media mistake was made yesteray - the IDF invited journalists to Haifa to photograph sailors voting. One photographer went behind the booth and saw there were only 17 ballot slips instead of the 31 tht should be thee - one slip representing each political party taking part in the election. When asked why this was, the IDF Spokesman said something to the effect,"Well, these soldiers voting aren;t for real. Their votes will not count. This was just set-up for the media." None of the major wire services or tlevision networks covering the event told the story, to my surprise. Something like this, highly embarrassing for the army (maybe!), is something that just should not happen. It might have happened in banana republics, or even during despotic regimes (one can think of a few examples), but it should happen in a thriving democracy such as Israel. Today\'s vote at this small post was real.',700,700);)

 party, has strong, critical words with an Israeli woman about promoting and making Peace with Palestinians,as he arrives at a Tel Aviv shopping mall on March 24, 2006 for a campaigning stop prior to next Tuesday\'s general election. Peres was visibly upset that he found a woman violently against making peace between Israeli and Palestinians and directly told her off without hesitation. While walking through the up-scale mall covering Peres shaking hands with all sorts of secular Israelis, I though about 1 in 6 said they had no intention to vote Kadima. They were voters with their minds made up and Peres went on, in search of those \'undecided\' or swing voters that will account for much of the results in the election.',700,700);){kind=spacer}
, Omri Sharon, son of ailing Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (R), and Tzahi Hanegbi a former minister in Sharon\'s government, all of whom are suspected, or in Sharon\'s case, indicted on charges of corruption. Israelis go to the polls in a general election on Tuesday and Kadima is expected to win.',700,700);)

![](javascript:doblowup('Amir Peretz','/images/uploaded/up_NK5qZc.jpg','Labor party leader Amir Peretz ducks under a campaign poster of himself that hangs in a "suk" or outdoor market in Kiryat Malakhi, a mostly lower class town in southern Israel, on March 20, 2006. Israelis go to the polls a week from tomorrow with Labor currently sitting in 2nd place, according to all polls. Peretz was warmyl greetled by many of the shoppers and merchants in the market, but with the press he is difficult to photograph. He seldomly gestures and is overall a bit stiff, but conscious all the same the cameras are around - something a previous Labor leader, Yitzhak Rabin was not. I have the feeling Peretz is very aware of how he wants to be photographed, and I wonder if, or how, he comments on the published images he sees of himself. This next week will be hectic.',700,700);)

','/images/uploaded/up_TSMI48.jpg','Israeli interim Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with his hand on his chin looks at a map of Gush Etzion Jewish settlement block and the proposed route of the "separation barrier" or wall as he begins a tour of the west Bank area on February 7, 2006. He was in Aminadav, inside Israel, overlooking the Palestinian, West Bank village of Beitar, and accompanied by Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, left. Olmert intends to keep all major Jewish settlement blocks in the West Bank, such as Gush Katif, and also will retain settlements along the border with Jordan, in deciding any borders between Israel and a future Palestine. Olmert also said he intends to speed up construction of the Wall, as it provides protection from "terrorist" attacks against Israelis. For the past several days a new wave of attacks and counter attacks have been occurring, especiaslly in the Gaza Strip.',700,700);)

Israeli police were expecting troubles connected with both the Hamas victory and the controversary over the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed during the prayers at al-Aqsa mosque and prevented Muslims under the age of 45 from entering the Old City. Hundreds of Palestinians prayed in the streets and and Israeli police quickly dispersed the crowd as chants of "Allah Akbar" rang out.',700,700);)

Abbas urged foreign countries not to stop their support of the Palestinian Authority despite the massive election win by Hamas. At left is Foreign Minister Nasser al-Qudwi, a relative of the late Yasser Arafat. Abbas must soon meet with Hamas to see if he can bring them into the PA government. My view is that, with the Israeli elections coming at the end of March, the PA has about 100 days to get its act together, change its rhetoric, and slip from being a purely Islamic, radical and militant movement into a respectfully acceptable political entity capable of operating inside a democratic government.',700,700);)
