To many, the duo of Olmert and Peretz seemed to invite trouble. Precisely because Israelis are aware of the constant security threat facing their country, they have always believed that their leaders should be able to lead Israel in war – but also to ask the military tough questions when diplomacy may fail.
对于很多人而言，奥尔默特和佩雷茨这一对组合看起来就会引来麻烦。正是由于以色列人清楚他们的国家时刻面临安全威胁，他们总是相信，他们的领导人能够在战争中带领以色列，同时，在外交努力失败的时候，他们也能够提出严厉的军事问题。
