At the Knesset

On Monday Ehud Olmert easily survived three no-confidence motions, following the release of the Interim Winograd Report. While there was no doubt the motions would be defeated, it was interesting to see the tension on his haggard face as he watched while the votes were tallied. I missed the shot of him leaning back in his chair and grinning triumphantly up at the photojournalists in the gallery, but managed to catch him and Peretz smiling with a combination of relief and satisfaction immediately afterward.

Motion of no confidence: watching the votes tallied
                          Watching as the votes are tallied.

Olmert gloats, Peretz sighs in relief: the motion of no confidence was defeated with ease

                          Smiling after the motions were defeated.

  1. They will turn those smiles into frowns soon enough… I do not think Bibi has had the last word on this.
