Last year particular allegations were made against former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert, which were gradually built up and built up so that Olmert had to stand down and defend himself.
I predicted he would be found innocent of the charges made against him, and some minor charges in comparison would be made, charges for which Olmert could be charged and possibly found guilty or innocent.
Well, today the Israeli Attorney General has rejected the major charges against Olmert citing lack of evidence (despite months of allegations in the media) but that evidence exists to possibly charge Olmert on some relatively minor charges; EXACTLY AS I SAID!
So what was Olmert discussing before he was ousted? I believe he was opening up peace talks with Syria and others following the disastrous Lebanon war of 2006 that he was tricked into (but later realised that he didn't have to fight).

...Meanwhile, the Justice Ministry announced on Monday that Attorney General Menachem Mazuz has decided to close the corruption case against Olmert over the purchase of a home on Cremieux Street in Jerusalem, citing lack of evidence.
