...abandoned a much-needed reform to overhaul the constitution, a leftover from a 1980 military coup, in favor of a one-off amendment to lift the ban on headscarves in universities.

Olmert can also take heart from last month's poll by the liberal daily Haaretz, which found that 64% of Israelis support direct talks with Hamas. The Prime Minister was recently in Ashkelon, the southern port now in the range of Hamas's Grad rockets, and was shown how schoolkids...
