Good morning to you all.
I invited you here so that I could convey to the public a personal announcement regarding my health.
For the past few years, I have undergone an annual examination which allows for, inter alia, early detection and diagnosis. Upon my return from a state visit to Russia ten days ago, I underwent an examination, the results of which were relayed to me last weekend. The results show that, due to early detection, the first signs of a malignant tumor were discovered in my prostate gland.
According to my doctors, this is a microscopic growth which has not metastasized, and which may be removed during a short surgical procedure. The surgical treatment is planned for the coming months.
I will be able to fully fulfill my duties, both before the treatment and several hours after it. My doctors, with whom you may speak shortly, have informed me that I will recover fully and that the growth which was discovered is not life-threatening and will not harm my ability to function or fulfill the mission with which I have been entrusted. Therefore, I intend to continue working and dedicating myself to matters of state.
Despite not being legally obligated to report to the public regarding my health status, I wanted to bring this information to the public openly and fully on my own initiative soon after receiving the medical opinion. The citizens of Israel have the right to know and I feel that I have an obligation to the public to inform them in this regard.
I am certain that you have many questions and my doctors, Prof. Koby Ramon and Dr. Shlomo Segev of the Sheba Medical Center, have been authorized to answer any medical questions about me. I thank them for the ongoing medical care which allowed for such early detection of the disease.
Thank you and good day.

He says, “I will be able to fully fulfill my duties, both before the treatment and several hours after it.”
The nerve, he hasn’t done it while he was well, so don’t expect him to do it now!
This horrible Little man won’t Even mention the name of hashem! Was it ever heard of in America that a president delivering an important speech should not invoke the name of hashem Forget bush who mentions g-d in every second word, but even the low life Clinton mentioned g-d many times. And in the jewish country of Israel. . . . . . . . .?!!! Shame on this atheist country! Shame on their filthy prime minister! and you would think this rasha Would learn from what happened to sharon?!. . . .
shalom – i join with you and hope that olmerts government is forced out and that we never see him in the political scene ever again, but the man is sick, your comment is not made at the right time.
#3: “but the man is sick”
Indeed; on many levels…
regarding number 2 #2===== what gives you a right to call former president bill clinton a low life, even if he is proberly a low life????
FROM YECHIEL GOLDBERG OF BORO PARK!!!
I PERSONALLY ASK AND DAVEN TO HASHEM TO PLEASE GRANT PRIME MINISTER EHUD OLMERT THE LEADER OF A JEWISH STATE IN THE LAND OF ERETZ YISROEL TO GRANT HIM A COMPLETE REFUA SHLEIMA IMMEDIATELY, AND I ENCOURAGE EVERY SINGLE JEW IN KLAL YISROEL TO DO THE SAME AND DAVEN ON HIS BEHALF ESPECIALLY SINCE HE HAPPENS TO BE A JEW LIKE ANY ONE OF US!!!
LETS ALSO DAVEN AND ALSO IN THIS MERIT THAT WE BE ZOCHE TO THE COMMING OF MOSHIACH SPEEDILY, IN OUR DAYS!!! FROM YECHIEL GOLDBERG OF BORO PARK!!!
Frum Yechiel, Daven Gezuntaheit, but daven that he should first get better in the head, then in the rest of his body. His plans for Israel are horrible and ultimately are for the bad. The only comfort we can have from this guy is “lev sarim byad hashem”
I guess a sonei yisroel doesn’t learn to what happend to Sharon.
Why is the man sick maybe I don’t know of course can it be because he didn’t learn? We have to learn from our mistakes.
How are you so sure that he is a Jew? I have heard that there are people on the government that they say are Jews & they aren’t so we don’t even know if he is a Jew & I don’t really think we daven for a sonei yisroel but as was said first daven that his head & neshomah should have a refusha shelamah.
It is Olmert at his best. He will not concede that his present health may interfere with his duties as Prime Minister and relies on his own abilities or lack thereof to carry through. He is also pretending to be working.
