Israeli premier Olmert questioned in corruption probe
Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says a new police investigation into his conduct won't keep him from doing his job.
Olmert was questioned by police on Friday in connection with a new probe whose substance has been subjected to a gag order.
In his first public comments on Sunday, Olmert said the investigation has unleashed "a wave of rumors," most of them "malicious and wicked." He spoke at the weekly meeting of his Cabinet.
He said he will continue with his agenda. He hopes to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians by the end of the year.
