Ehud Olmert said in his statement, “I look into the eyes of each & every one of you & say that I have never taken a bribe. I never took a penny for myself. I was elected by you, citizens of Israel, to be the Prime Minister & I don’t intend to shirk this responsibility”.

Ehud Olmert said, “At the same time & even though the law does not require me to do this, I will resign from my job if the Attorney General decides to issue an indictment against me”.
