When can Israelis vote Olmert out of office?

We have been asking that question many times here in eager anticipation of such an event. But it's a parliamentary system (patterned after Britain, to some extent) so the ruling clique determines when the next election is to come, within a maximum time frame. Unless the current government is booted out by a motion of "no confidence", Olmert can hold on for several more years, as bad as that sounds.

Can someone help me out on when Olmert's maximum term expires?
