Israel's top court slashed former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's prison sentence to 18 months from six years on Dec. 29 after overturning the main count in his 2014 bribery conviction.
Olmert, 70, will begin serving his term on Feb. 15, according to live reports from the Jerusalem courtroom, making him the first former head of government in Israel to go to prison.
