The office of Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Monday afternoon she will greet the first flight of Nefesh B'Nefesh olim [immigrants] who are scheduled to arrive in Israel Tuesday morning. Several flights are expected during the summer, bringing new immigrants from North America and Britain.

Foreign Minister Livni is considered one of the most likely candidates to replace Prime Minister Ehud Olmert if Labor party chairman Ehud Barak forces him to step down, as he vowed during his campaign to head the party.
