As the main concerns of Ehud Olmert and his corrupt, self-aggrandizing cronies, including an entire cabinet, at least 117 members of Knesset and certain local city governments, seem to be;

1/ Maintaining their own power and power-bases at all cost
2/ Self-enrichment through any and all means of bribery, graft, corruption and strong-arming

Amidst the various and myriad corruption, graft and influence-peddling scandal accusations against prime minister Ehud Olmert, including

Well, this horrendous terrorists for body-bags “deal” is going forward. The only thing that remained was for the IDF to confirm that the remains in the two caskets were indeed Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser and that Israel wasn’t being zoomed by Hezbollah.
