Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will resign on Sunday in the wake of Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's victory in a Kadima party leadership election, Olmert's spokesman said on Saturday. Olmert planned to announce the decision at Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting before formally submitting his resignation to President Shimon Peres ahead of the latter's trip to New York to attend the UN General Assembly meeting.
"The prime minister will announce his resignation during the cabinet meeting and then deliver his letter of resignation to President Shimon Peres in accordance with the law," Olmert's spokesman Mark Regev told.
