      Report: Olmert To Suspend Himself from Office


      Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will suspend himself from office next week, and his deputy, Foreign Minster Tzipi Livni, will replace him during the current investigation against him, according to sources quoted by Voice of Israel government radio. The report has not been confirmed.

      In a rare departure from tradition, the Prime Minister has not granted interviews with the media on Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day).
