Israel’s justice minister to resign, wait for trial
Israel’s justice minister, a key ally of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, announced Friday that he will resign, clearing the way for him to stand trial on accusations he forcibly kissed an 18-year-old female soldier. Haim Ramon’s announcement came a day after Israel’s attorney general announced plans to indict him, the latest blow to a government politically weakened by the 34-day war against Lebanese guerrillas. Ramon said in a statement that he had waived his parliamentary immunity and his right to a special hearing with the attorney general. He said he would leave office on Sunday. Ramon asked Attorney General Meni Mazuz to ensure a speedy trial “for personal reasons, but also because of public interest.” Ramon, 56, is suspected of forcibly kissing the soldier during a farewell party at a government office. The incident allegedly took place July 12, the day the war erupted.
