Israelis secret service foiled a political plot by the Palestinians to assassinate Israel’s PM Ehud Olmert. This week the PM was in the west bank working with Palestinian leaders on a realistic peace agreement when the secret service discovered the plot. The Palestinians had people who claimed responsibility for the attempt but released them for lack of evidence.
This incident shows the never ending situation in Israel and how it is at such a point where an assassination attempt will not slow down the peace agreements. So much happens between the Palestinians and the Israelis that even the PM’s life being in danger does not slow down the peace talks. More interesting to see, even though the accused people behind the attack were from Fata (where the current Palestinian government is Hamas) Israel’s only option to a peaceful solution is to ignore acts of intolerance and violence. Though confidence in Olmert’s abilities is not at a high point, I hope to see his efforts rewarded with some progress in the Middle East.

Killing Olmert, whether is he is popular or not today, would make him a martyr. May he be safe.
