In an interview on the “DemocratTV” channel, Olmert called on US President Joe Biden to take steps against Israel. “I call on the United States to make a new assessment of relations with Israel for all that this implies,” he stated.

“I call on world leaders not to meet with Netanyahu,” added the former premier.

Olmert sharpened his line against the government, claiming that, “those who love the State of Israel must act against the government. There is no senator in the history of the United States who has a longer history of voting for Israel than Biden. Biden, if he loves Israel, must act against the government,” he was quoted as saying.

“He already said it, but he needs to give it an additional practical dimension. He needs to give a message about reevaluating relations with Israel. About everything that is implied by that, including the things that are the focus of Israel’s importance and attention. To make it clear to the violent group that supports Netanyahu what the price that the State of Israel will pay for its actions,” he concluded.

Olmert’s controversial statements raised sharp reactions from government ministers, with Minister Amichai Eliyahu stating that Olmert is “A dangerous man who can harm his friends and himself when he is angry. It amazes me that he was once prime minister.”

after olmert’s disastrous war in lebanon, defense minister yaalon said that there was no point in fighting anymore after a few days but olmert kept fighting and soldiers kept dying so he could spin it as if he won– remember when he sent horses to bash heads in atzmonah–how does this lowlife sleep at night.

The Left will do anything to hold on to power, even if it means risking the safety of the country.
