Olmert: Continuing the war in Gaza is a crime, not Israeli security – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

According to RCO News Agency, Former Zionist Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who has strongly criticized Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet in recent months, told the German Der Spiegel newspaper and criticized the continuation of military attacks on the Gaza Strip that Israel’s military targets have long been achieved and the war was no longer.

He referred to the assassination of martyr Yahya Al -Sunwar The commander of the Hamas Islamic Resistance Movement in the Gaza Strip and the leader of the group stated that the operation could have been the end point of the war, but Netanyahu has fueled the conflict to maintain its personal and political interests.

Olmert called for Netanyahu to be prosecuted not in the Hague court, but within Israel, on charges of committing crimes against the Palestinians and even the Israelis.

The former Israeli prime minister also described the regime’s military invasion of Gaza as an illegal and impossible act that could be considered as a case of war crimes.

He acknowledged that the regime’s security forces participate and support the settlers’ attacks on the Palestinian areas of the West Bank.

The former Zionist official, criticizing the behavior of Israeli regime officials following the Operation of the Al -Aqsa Storm, emphasized that the regime would be far from logic and restraint and would face the risk of international sanctions and global isolation if it continued.

Olmert’s explicit statements come as field failures in Gaza, growing diplomatic isolation and domestic economic crisis have deepened the gap between Israeli political currents and weakened the position of Netanyahu’s government.
