end its backing for terrorism. Pelosi
and her delegation say they conveyed
that message, and Olmert called Pelosi
later to smooth over the flap. The
White House slammed Pelosi for what
officials said was an attempt to con-
duct an independent foreign policy.
Washington Federal Judge T.S.
Ellis III rejected a government pro-
posal to close the trial of two former
AIPAC staffers. Ellis ruled the request
unconstitutional. The former senior
staffers were indicted in August 2005

The U.S. Supreme
Court upheld a ban on late-term

Russian Jews remem-

Jerusalem An Israeli govern-

Minister Ehud Olmert's management
of the 2006 war in Lebanon. The
Winograd Commission's report said
there was a "serious failure in exercis-
ing judgment, responsibility and pru-
dence" in the government's handling
of the war. Despite a 100,000-person
rally against Olmert in Tel Aviv and a
call from Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni
to resign, Olmert stood firm in his
decision to stay in office.

New York Edgar Bronftnan, who
served as president of the World
Jewish Congress for nearly 30 years,
resigned. The move came two months

ate and a top WJC official, Rabbi Israel
Singer. Bronfman claimed Singer

tion Singer denied. The WJC elected
Ronald Lauder as its interim president
in June, with officials voicing hope the
organization could get past its years of
legal and internal wrangling.

the post by a narrow margin.
