- "Netanyahu is history, he's done," Ehud Olmert told DW. He called the current Israeli leaders "violent, messianic thugs" and said that long term, Palestinians must be able to "exercise their right to self-determination." The center-right politician and former prime minister added that there was no alternative to the two-state solution with the Palestinians. On the issue of the scores of Israelis taken hostage by Hamas, Olmert said there was "no basis for negotiation" with Hamas - since, in his view, the Islamist militant group was not interested in negotiations. Olmert also told host Tim Sebastian that he thought there was little likelihood of direct military action against Iran, even though Tehran had "coordinated" the attacks and that a derailment of a US-sponsored diplomatic and security accord between Israel and Saudi Arabia would serve Iran's interests.

He's not wrong. Bibi doesn't want to deal with moderates and reasonable people, because he's not reasonable. He wants all the land and negotiations are pointless if your not going to give the other side anything. If you don't act reasonably, expect to deal with unreasonable people. I just pray the decent people on both sides can negotiate when the dust settles here
Indeed, regardless of whether he deliberately turned a blind eye to encourage it, Netanyahu has benefitted from this attack since it diverts attention away from his attack on the independence of the judiciary and his unpopularity.
Echud Olmert is a voice calm, clear, reason and wisdom in the midst of these heartbreaking, turbulent, and difficult days.
“I’m not scared for the country. I’m scared of the Israeli government.”
Well said.
There are no "settlers" in the West Bank. There are only "unsettlers".
Really wise answers from Mr Olmert, all respect to him. For me this is a real leader that looks forward to peace. Get rid of Hamas and change government to have peace and a 2 state.
Can't imagine a former American President speaking this forthrightly.
ALL WE WANT IS PEACE
Wow, this man's wisdom is a rare experience indeed. So they're still good people in Israel.
.. If Israeli is truly honest then split the land area 50/50.
Mr. Security blew it.
That was an excellent question and answer interview.
Benjamin Netanyahu 2 million Palestinians are NOT HAMAS
Wow! Mr Olbert is a true statesman, a rarity nowadays. This is one of the most important, informative, and interesting videos I watched regarding the latest Israel-Hamas episode.
No one can win this war. Both sides lose. That is what most wars end up
Its very informative , and give us some hope that one day there will be peace in the region with the plan of two nations idea.
I cant get past the thought how it all seems like a trope from dystopian fiction hamas and netanyahu both need this vilonce to maintain there own power.
Netanyahu should not have a hardline approach towards Palestinians in the first place. That would drastically reduce terrorism, not eliminate altogether
Good insightful interview educational well said
Unbelievably strong civil society wiith the judiciary at the mercy of netanyahu.
well answerd by the ex pm, heres
a man who has seen the way forward is peace between two folks after hamas been dealt with.
Agree 💯
He actually admitted Israel funded Hamas.
It’s been going around that perhaps the intell knew this might happen, but it served as a greater purpose to incinerate hamass /gaza because this incident would be a rational cause for this reasoning … perhaps
This is the clear scene that we use to say that when the elephants is fighting the ant and the grass bear or face the consequences..
No one:...
Every 5 years somebody: Netanyahu is done.
Justice for the Palestinians. The Arab world needs to unite and force Israel to return all looted Palestinian territory. But such an explosive attack would easily be labeled terrorist.
They need to form a political party representing the nation to support the world's justice-loving people to fight for national unity.
u back my man
How did the Israeli security goof up under Netanyahu?
Tim Sebastian ❤
A forceful and honest response by Olmert, who doesn't pull any punches. He has vision and recognises where a peaceful future lies.
We can only hope...
The last time an Israeli government got caught with its pants down -- the Yom Kippur War -- said government was sent packing. It ended Golda Meir's political career, too.
He was done the minute he was born
They released a mum and her two kids?
old footage
I watched this for quite a while before realising that I was watching the embodiment of my ball bag! on TH-cam!!
Isn't this the guy that brutally attacked David Irving on hardtalk. Thought these journalists were suppose to be impartial.
PALESTINIANS ARE TRAPPED 😢
17:21 good lord if you’re telling Tim Sebastian “you’re too young “ then you’re old AF
Looking good Olmert
Forever, & a day, it is a mistake to say that ‘essentially: everyone in the World are the same.’ It is not. Different-levels of Class. Just look at South Asia. Minus any other Country, than the South/West.
Thank you, Ehud, for your words and your wisdom! If I could choose (I cann not, because I am German citicen) I would choose you as the next PM of Israel.
Ehud Olmert still alive?!
The 1 state solution is the only way forward. A state where Palestinians and Israelis live side by side with all the same rights, same opportunities, same freedoms.
All people want the same core things. They want safety for themselves and their families. They want to be free from hunger and they want to feel like they are part of something larger than themselves. Give the people that and stop intentionally sowing division and hate for the sake of political power. Then you will stop the evil and you will have the country everyone dreams of.
You're wrong as Iran is mainly Shiite and Hamas are Sunni and the two don't agree on many things regarding religion. Netanyahu was given ample warning by the Egyptians of the attacks that would happen but he ignored it. Was it deliberate so that he could act to obliterate Hamas ie Gaza? Were those killed just collateral damage? See the video of the woman accusing the IDF of shooting those living in on kibbutz. Sorry if I'm wrong but it's food for thought. And if you replace Nyet please replace him with someone who's compassionate and with a soul and heart for all lives.
Speaking of messianic Jews in the territories, what about your own settler daughter Orli? It's been a while since I rode with you in your Peugeot when you were the mayor of Jerusalem as you delivered me to Bet El. Took a while but the time for real soul searching has arrived. Begin and Sharon engineered the settler movement for political reasons. I guess hindsight is 20:20. That said, you're looking well, Ehud!
Olmert, the jailbird. Corrupt politician.
It’s so heartbreaking,eastern countries tells about democracies but they didn’t see what isreal does with Palestine? How they killed innocent civilians for mores and mores years before.
Too bad mr Olmert is not PM
I think that pointing fingers and blaming is not going to help Israel but to hurt it. Best to just learn from this intelligence failure and move forward and build better and build back. Causing divisions and resignations now is only going to work in the favor of Israel’s enemies
First, get rid of Biden, then let everything else sort itself out without the USA.
I dont like America or Canada or Isreal or the UK very much its pretty embarrassing to be a part of the west in 2023 we should all hang our heads in shame. According to Political leaders 2 wrongs make a right
It’s not the governments fault but it is a serious failure in security and intelligence
Netanyahu is a mature and sane leader. I wish Israel success.
Ehud Olmert proves that he is like the Bourbons of France, he has learned nothing and forgot nothing. The notion that Israel can live in peace next to these Palestinians is laughable. You don't negotiate with people who cut off the heads of children.
He was talking of Palestinians of good will of course. Not HamaSS. But at present there are not enough people of good will on both sides to pull this off.
