Olmert urged to stand down over corruption claims奧爾默特呼籲的立場，下跌超過腐敗索賠
By通過 Donald Macintyre唐納德麥金太爾 | The Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s most powerful coalition partner has called on him to step aside in the face of widespread anger at allegations that he had repeatedly received envelopes stuffed with cash from a US businessman. |以色列總理埃胡德奧爾默特的最強大的聯盟夥伴已要求他下台，在面對廣泛的憤怒指控，他曾多次收到的信封，塞進用現金從一名美國商人。
In the wake of testimony by the businessman Morris Talansky that he had personally handed over $150,000 (£76,000) for Mr Olmert during a period of some 15 years, the Defence Minister and Labour Party leader Ehud Barak urged the Prime Minister to leave office – either permanently or for as long as the police investigation against him continues.在之後的證詞，該名商人莫里斯talansky說，他曾親自交給十五點○萬美元（ 76000英鎊）議員，奧爾默特期間，大約15年，國防部長和工黨領袖巴拉克敦促總理離開辦公室-無論永久或因為只要警方對他的調查仍在繼續。
But while Mr Barak’s intervention triggered potentially the most serious threat yet to Mr Olmert’s political survival, it did not come with a deadline.不過，雖然議員巴拉克的干預，引發潛在的最嚴重的威脅尚未奧爾默特的政治生存，它不來與一個最後期限。 Nor did it shake Mr Olmert’s apparent determination to stay in office until or unless he is formally indicted.它也沒有動搖議員，奧爾默特顯然決心留在辦公室，直到或除非他正式起訴。
Mr Barak called on Mr Olmert to release the reins of government “through [self-] suspension, vacation, resignation or declaring himself incapacitated” and warned that he would trigger elections if the Prime Minister did not stand down or was not replaced by his colleagues in the ruling Kadima party.議員巴拉克，呼籲議員，奧爾默特釋放韁繩政府“通過[自我]暫時停工，休假，辭職或宣布自己喪失工作能力” ，並警告說，他將觸發選舉，如果總理不下台或不取代他的同事們在執政的前進黨。
Saying that Mr Olmert could not at once “deal with the challenges facing Israel, such as Hamas, Hizbollah, Syria, Iran and the captive soldiers” and at the same time handle “his own affairs”, he added: “Therefore, acting out of concern for the good of the country… I believe the Prime Minister must disconnect himself from the day-to-day running of the government.”說奧爾默特無法在一次“處理與以色列所面臨的挑戰，如哈馬斯，真主黨，敘利亞，伊朗和被俘士兵” ，並在同一時間內處理“ ，他自己的事情” ，他補充說： “因此，出於關注好國家… …我相信，總理必須斷開自己從日常運行的政府“ 。
According to a survey in the daily newspaper Haaretz, 70 per cent of those polled – and 51 percent of voters in Kadima – do not believe Mr Olmert’s version that the money he received from the American businessman went only for his election campaigns.據一項調查顯示，在每天的報紙國土報中，有70 ％的受訪者-和5 1％的選民在前進-不相信奧爾默特的版本，這些錢他收到來自美國商人到只為他的競選活動。
Mr Barak launched his intervention at a news conference in the Knesset building after Mr Talansky’s testimony – dismissed as “twisted” by Mr Olmert’s lawyers – appeared to contradict the Prime Minister’s insistence that he had not benefited personally from any payments made to him over the period under investigation.巴拉克先生發起的干預，他在新聞發布會上，以色列議會大廈後， talansky的證詞-被視為“扭曲”的議員，奧爾默特的律師-似乎是矛盾的首相的堅持下，他並沒有受惠，親自從支付的任何款項向他提出這一期間正在調查中。
Mr Olmert’s aide, Tal Zilberstein, told Israeli television “the press conference changed nothing”.奧爾默特的助手，塔爾阿zilberstein ，告訴以色列電視台“的記者招待會上沒有什麼改變” 。 “The Prime Minister was not considering resigning, nor taking a leave of absence, nor any of the other suggestions raised at that press conference,” he said. “首相是不會考慮辭職，也不考慮請假，也沒有任何其他的建議，提出在新聞發布會上， ”他說。 To do so would be tantamount to an admission of offences of which he intends “to prove his innocence”.這樣做等於承認的罪行，他打算“ ，以證明自己的清白” 。
Uncertainty remains about how ready Mr Barak is to carry out his threat to lead his party out of the coalition and so trigger an election which the current polls suggest he would not win.不確定性仍然是有關如何準備議員巴拉克是進行威脅，他帶領他的黨退出聯盟等引發的選舉目前的民意測驗表明，他不會贏。 While some of his allies suggested that the “moral message” he conveyed would increase his popularity, the polls indicate at present that Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud would be the biggest party after any new election.而他的一些盟國的建議， “道德的訊息” ，他轉達了會增加他的民望，調查顯示，目前認為，內塔尼亞胡的右翼利庫德集團將成為最大黨後，任何新的選舉。
The one factor that could alter that landscape would be if Mr Olmert were to be replaced as Kadima leader by Tzipi Livni, the Foreign Minister.一個因素可能會改變這種景觀將如果奧爾默特被取代前進黨領導人tzipi沙龍，外長。 She has reportedly incurred Mr Olmert’s anger by not notably rallying to his support but she is deemed to be the most popular politician in the country.據報導，她已招致議員，奧爾默特的憤怒，沒有顯著的凝聚力，他的支持，但她被認為是最受歡迎的政治家，在該國。 However, she has rivals within Kadima such as Shaul Mofaz, the former chief of staff in the military who has a base among political activists though much less so in the country.不過，她已與沙龍的競爭對手，如莫法茲，前參謀總長在軍事上誰擁有基地之間的政治活動家，雖然少得多，所以在該國。
Ms Livni would also be best placed – among Kadima politicians – to inherit Mr Olmert’s efforts to conclude a “shelf agreement” on a two-state solution with the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.利夫尼女士也將佔盡地利-前進黨之間的政治家-繼承奧爾默特的努力，以締結一項“大陸架協定”兩個國家的解決方案與巴勒斯坦自治政府主席阿巴斯。 Concern that these could now grind to a halt were underlined yesterday when Nabil Abu Rudeineh, an aide to Mr Abbas, said there was “no doubt that what is happening in Israel will have negative repercussions on the negotiating track”.關切的是，這些現在可以慢慢停止被強調，昨天當納阿布rudeineh ，一助手阿巴斯說，有“毫無疑問，正在發生的事情，以色列將有負面影響，對談判的軌道” 。
Sima Kadmon, a columnist for the Yedhiot Ahronot daily, wrote in a front-page commentary yesterday: “The issue here is the unassuming way in which an elected official takes into his hands huge sums of money in cash, credit card or as a loan.司馬kadmon ，一位專欄作家為yedhiot ahronot每日寫道，在前端網頁的評論昨天說： “這裡的問題是unassuming以何種方式選舉產生的官員考慮到他手中巨額資金在現金，信用卡或作為貸款。 Where is the shame?哪裡是羞恥？ Where are we living?”在那裡，我們的生活“ ？
