WHERE WOULD OLMERT WANT TO LIVE AFTER HE LEAVES OFFICE

Ruthie Blum Leibowitz, in her latest JPost column, has another note to make about Ehud Olmert and his real estate scandals:

In a short piece headlined "Olmert wants to live on Rehov Barak," (October 13), Ofer Petersburg gave readers yet another glimpse into the real-estate interests of the outgoing prime minister and his wife, Aliza. According to the report, the couple has been eyeing a NIS 10 million villa - on a half-dunam plot - in the upscale North Tel Aviv neighborhood of Tzahala, though they'll be looking at other properties before making up their minds where they will settle after leaving the prime minister's residence. And just so we should all be clear - and disapproving - Petersburg reminded us that the Olmerts already own an apartment in Tel Aviv, as well as the house on Rehov Cremieux in Jerusalem... you know, the one he's under investigation for.

Apartments he doesn't deserve to have, I'd say.
