Per NY Times, 2008 Jan 8, she is 47, and they include a pic that makes her look more that age. She probably should have an updated pic.

[edit] Israel-Lebanon conflict

That bottom section reads like a news bulletin - it definitely needs finessing. Biruitorul 21:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] U.N. Speech 2006

It was quite pointed and moving. Some mention of it should be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.228.248.11 (talk • contribs)

Personally, I don't like Livni, but the new 'main picture' of her is horrendous, not just the way she looks, but also overexposed too. Does not do justice to WP. --Shuki 23:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Malka

please see hebrew profile here. Apparently, her grandmother on her father's side. --Shuki 18:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Acting Prime Minister?

I had to reverse an edit describing Livni as Acting Prime Minister. The last I checked Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was still in good health, performing his powers and duties. GoodDay 21:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

If you look up the Wikipedia entry on Israel's Acting Prime Minister (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deputy_leaders_of_Israel#Acting_Prime_Minister), it describes it as a post in which one would take power were the PM to be incapacitated. On the same page, it describes Vice Prime Minister as an entirely different post, currently held by one Haim Ramon. I have no knowledge myself, but if that page is accurate, you should undo your reverse and fix the references to Livni as Vice Prime Minister. -Rojo

There is no vice prime minister in Israel. Leaders in a Number two position might be an acting prime minister (who will stand in for an incapacitated prime minister, in the event of illness, etc.) or a deputy prime minister (I'm not sure what that position entails, either - mainly, it's a title). --Gilabrand (talk) 08:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, if that's true, than this page needs some fixing, as it still describes Livni as Vice Prime Minister of Israel. This strikes me as a problem, as Livni is a figure of no small import (which is not to say that I have anything but contempt for her politics). -Rojo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.173.216 (talk) 09:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
