Former Chairman of Kadima, Tzipi Livni, announced Monday that the party will give Ehud Olmert an "umbrella time" to decide whether or not to return to politics.

At a conference at IDC Herzeliya, Livni made it clear that Olmert's decision will also affect her decision on the subject, saying, "I have no intention to further split the camp to which I belong. We are waiting to see whether we can produce a real alternative for prime minister."
