Prime Minster Ehud Olmert's son Shaul, who lives in the United States, is cooperating with another Israeli to begin a start-up company for online games. The junior Olmert, who like the Prime Minister's younger son does not live in Israel, is a senior director of MTV Networks, a digital games company.

Shaul Olmert in the past aroused a media storm by signing a left-wing petition calling on army soldiers to refuse to serve in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
