Olmert to stay in office despite health problem
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told Israelis yesterday he would have minor surgery to remove cancerous growth in his prostate gland but assured them that this would not affect his ability to govern.
?This is not a matter for a major government shake-up o?, he added. Olmert, 62, was propelled to power when his party ally Ariel Sharon was felled by a stroke in early 2006. His administration has been dogged by corruption scandals as well as the fall-out from last year?s inconclusive Lebanon war. He has engaged in talks with the Palestinians about a peace conference to be held later this year in the United States, but he faces opposition within his own broad coalition cabinet to making concessions to the Palestinian leadership. The prime minister is a keen runner and fitness fanatic.
