Israeli President asked to step down due to rape charges.

President Moshe Katsav of Israel is being asked to step down by Prime Minister Olmert, due to rape accusations.

“Under these circumstances, there is no doubt in my mind that the president cannot continue to fulfil his position and he must leave the president’s residence,” he said.
His comments followed a nationally televised news conference in which a visibly angry Mr Katsav denied the accusations against him.
At one point the president railed against a reporter from Israel’s Channel 2 television, accusing it of leading a campaign against him.
He implored the public not to believe the allegations, saying: “When the truth comes out you will be shocked.”

I mean we are already pretty shocked.
