Olmert vows to include women in future political negotiations

By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has committed himself to involving women in all political negotiations that Israel will conduct in the future.

"I intend to include women in every group or team that deals with political negotiations in the future," Olmert wrote in a May 17 letter to former MK Eti Livni. The comment came in response to a letter Livni sent the prime minister in April, before talks with Arab League representatives.

July 2005, Livni and MK Yuli Tamir initiated an amendment to the Equal Rights Law stating that "in a team or committee established for the purpose of shaping national policy, including foreign and defense matters or for the sake of preventing, administering or resolving a national conflict, adequate expression is given to women."
