Kadima MK Avigdor Yitzhaki. (Archives) Last update - 12:26 07/02/2008 Kadima MK Yitzhaki resigns over Winograd report on Lebanon war By Mazal Mualem, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service Tags: Israel, Avigdor Yitzhaki  Kadima MK Avigdor Yitzhaki submitted his resignation to Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik on Thursday. Yitzhaki announced his intention to resign a week ago, citing the criticism against him in the Winograd Committee's final report on the Second Lebanon War. In the wake of the committee's interim report, which was published in April last year, Yitzhaki attempted to prompt Olmert's ouster, a move which proved unsuccessful. Advertisement In turn, Yitzhaki stepped down as coalition and faction whip and single-handedly called for Olmert's dismissal from within Kadima ranks. Following the release of the report, Olmert enjoyed the backing of an overwhelming majority of Kadima MKs, who stressed that the report made clear that there were no political motivations behind the decision to launch a large-scale offensive after a cease-fire agreement had already been set.
