Sharon Reuven, one of the reservists camping out in front of the Prime Minister's office, believes that another war with Hizballah and its allies Syria and Iran is inevitable. "We want Olmert to resign immediately because tomorrow will be dangerous, and we'll need a strong leader to defend Israel," she says.
