Breaking: Olmert ops for early retirement
 Prime Minister Ehud Olmert held a special press conference on Wednesday at 8 p.m. where he announced he will not run in the Kadima primary scheduled to take place in September. The premier lashed out at his political adversaries without naming any of them - either from Kadima or other parties - personally. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who is currently in Washington, had been expected to hold a press conference later Wednesday - reportedly about the state of negotiations with the Palestinians - but canceled the statement, apparently due to Olmert's announcement.
