Convicted Ex-‘Israeli’ PM Olmert Granted Early Release
Local Editor
Former Zionist Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was granted early release from prison on Thursday morning and is set to be released on July 2.
The prosecution opposed the decision to commute his sentence by one-third, and requested that its implementation be delayed.
Olmert began serving a 27-month sentence on charges including fraud and bribery in February 2016.
He was hospitalized last week after feeling unwell and returned to prison on Tuesday.
The Maasiyahu Prison parole board convened 10 days ago to hear prosecutors' objections, refusing to delay the meeting despite an active probe of charges that Olmert mishandled classified documents while writing his memoirs in prison.
The hearing was very long, and included a presentation by prosecuting attorney Orly Ben Ari that revealed classified information from the inquiries into the possible leaks that had been made up to that time.
Meanwhile, prosecutors oppose Olmert's release due to suspicions that he exposed sensitive, secret information during the writing of his book that could cause serious damage to the entity's ‘security', in their estimation. The information relates to two sensitive ‘Israeli' security operations. The prosecution asserts that Olmert confirms that ‘Israel' was behind a move for which it had never officially assumed responsibility.
