The current prime minister, Ehud Olmert, has decided to resign following corruption allegations involving more than $150,000 in payments from a New York businessman. Livni, 50, has served in Israel's legislature, the Knesset, for less than a decade, but was effectively put on the path to the nation's highest office after claiming victory in Tuesday's primary.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:10:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Who Will Follow Olmert as Israeli Prime
