Olmert: Gaza War Is Personal, Aimed at Netanyahu’s Political Survival
webangah News Agency reports: Ehud Olmert, former Prime Minister of Israel, declared in recent remarks about the genocidal war in Gaza that “the prevailing view in israel is that continuing this war lacks any justifiable objective.”
In an interview with The New York Times, Olmert warned: “The Gaza conflict risks endangering hostages’ lives. this is Netanyahu’s personal war to prolong his political survival.”
The ex-PM emphasized: “While Gazans face starvation, Israel blocks aid deliveries – a policy clearly endorsed by Netanyahu’s government.”
Olmert issued a stark warning: “Ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich openly seek the annihilation of Gaza’s population. They hold identical views toward West Bank residents before annexing that territory to Israel.”
The former leader had previously condemned Netanyahu’s cabinet as “nothing but a criminal gang led by Benjamin Netanyahu himself.”
