Israeli justice minister faces possible harassment charge
Israel’s justice minister, a top ally of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, faces possible indictment on sexual harassment charges, in a new blow to a government that emerged politically weakened this week from a 34-day war against Lebanese guerrillas
The attorney general warned Justice Minister Haim Ramon yesterday that he is considering an indictment. Ramon is suspected of forcibly kissing an 18-year-old female soldier during a farewell party at a government office. The incident allegedly took place July 12, the day the war erupted.
