Israel's vice premier Silvan Shalom resigns amid sex harassment allegations
Ari Rabinovitch

Jerusalem: Israeli Vice Premier Silvan Shalom, a veteran politician in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party, resigned on Sunday following allegations that he had sexually harassed several women during his career.

The decision to step down by Shalom, who also served as the country's interior minister and once held the post of foreign minister, was not expected to affect the stability of Mr Netanyahu's government. Shalom weathered a scandal earlier this year when his wife tweeted an inappropriate joke about US President Obama, referring to him as "black and weak". He is expected to be replaced by Amir Ohana, who will become the first openly gay Likud party politician in Israel's parliament.

Israeli media have reported in recent days that several women have complained that Shalom harassed them. Israel's attorney general on Sunday instructed the police to investigate the allegations.

In further news: Shalom has changed his name to 'Mazel-Tov' in hopes to have better luck next time. He didn't specify whether the new luck would apply to women, or politics.

Well his title is the VICE Premier after all. Just typical of this people where sexual frustration dominates.
