On April 30 Israel’s Winograd Commission of Inquiry into the war in Lebanon will release its interim report. Its findings will address the country’s poor military performance in Lebanon and evaluate the testimonies of the war’s chief architects, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz, and former Chief of Staff Dan Halutz. Israel’s political elite is eagerly awaiting the report to see how far-reaching the Committee’s conclusions will be concerning Olmert and his chief cabinet ministers, and whether its findings will lead to a collapse of the government. To discuss these and related questions, three of Israel’s leading political observers will comment on the report and assess its implications for the prime minister and Israel’s leadership as a whole.
