Tzipi Livni appointed as Israel's minister of justice

Local News:
Israel's PM, Ehud Olmert, has decided to appoint Tzipi Livni as Israel's new minister of justice. Former minister of justice, Haim Ramon, resigned from his office due to accusations of sexual misconduct. His trial has reached the summation stage and will be decided during the following weeks. Livni already serves as Israel's foreign minister and will hold both offices. Livni has a perfectly clean public service record and many view her as a potential candidate for the prime ministerhood of Israel. Livni, formerly of the Likud party, followed Ariel Sharon when he left the Likud to establish the Kadima party in late 2005.
