Policy Developments During Olmert's Term and Prospects for the New Government

Regardless of how one views the legacy of former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert or his government, it is clear that significant developments in government policy vis-à-vis Israel's Palestinian-Arab citizens occurred in the course of his term. One can examine policy from two general perspectives. The first is a policy de jure perspective, comprised of statements, rhetoric, plans and programs; the second focuses on policy de facto, which is measured by real actions (and can therefore be measured only in retrospect). While examining Olmert's policy through the prism of both perspectives, we can see that his term between February 2006 and early 2009 can be described as positive. Here are a few examples to support this assessment.
