Name: Ehud Olmert
Title: Israeli Prime Minister
Chairman of the Kadima Party

Position: Pro Two-State Solution to the question "What are the solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?"
Reasoning:

"In order to ensure that we have a Jewish homeland, we cannot continue to control those territories where there is a Palestinian majority. We must as soon as possible lay down a clear-cut border that will ensure a Jewish majority within the state of Israel...The only solution now is two states -- one Jewish, one Palestinian"
