Writing in French newspaper Le Monde, Olmert called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war a criminal personal war that has provoked a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Olmert said Netanyahu's government is the real enemy from within. He also accused Netanyahu of playing the victim when he accuses European nations that criticize his government of anti-Semitism.
It is unusual for a Mossad veteran to be so outspokenly critical against the government, but maybe not in this case surprising. Ehud Olmert, who's a former prime minister of Israel, last week accused his country of committing war crimes. Yair Golan, the main opposition leader, accused the government of killing babies for sport or as a hobby.
