Boim: Olmert should be left to get on with running the country

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert should be left to get on with running the country, Construction and Housing Minister Ze'ev Boim said Friday morning. Speaking to Israel Radio, Boim said that there was no other leader in the world with such a heavy responsibly as Israel's premier, and that before demanding that he step down, people should consider other ways to deal with the situation. Boim said he would decide next week who to support in the September 17 Kadima primary. He said all the candidates were suitable but that the important factor was which one had the ability to stabilize the coalition and complete the government's term.
