Morris Talansky, 75-years-old, speaks to the press in Jerusalem on July 20 2008. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's lawyers today tore through the testimony of US millionaire Talansky at the heart of a graft probe of the embattled premier in an effort to discredit him. Their third day of cross-examination of Talansky -- a Jewish-American financier who in May testified he had given Olmert vast sums of cash to finance election campaigns before he became premier in 2006 -- was especially harsh. The investigation is one of six pending corruption probes against Olmert and has provoked widespread calls for him to resign. From Getty Images by AFP/Getty Images.
