[Scurrilous]

"Channel 2 TV reported on Friday that police will next week question Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in connection with the ongoing corruption investigation.

The case centers on U.S. fund-raiser Morris Talansky who allegedly
transferred tens of thousands of dollars to Olmert. The delivery of the cash allegedly occurred during Olmert's tenure as Jerusalem mayor for a decade beginning in 1993 or as trade minister beginning in 2003.

Channel 2 reported that police will confront Olmert with evidence they have obtained in recent interrogations of those believed involved in the case.

Police this week questioned two U.S. businessmen in connection to the suspicions. Olmert has been questioned over the allegations once this far.

Earlier on Friday, several Kadima MKs gathered at the home of MK Isaac Ben-Israel to discuss the ongoing investigation against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

This is the first meeting of this kind since the news first broke regarding Olmert's probe, but the participants maintain that the nature of the meeting is merely a "theoretical discussion" and not an attempted putsch."
