Olmert Slams Netanyahu's Gaza Offensive: 'No Good Defense',
Former Israeli PM Olmert Condemns Netanyahu's Gaza Actions Amidst International Criticism The ongoing conflict in Gaza has drawn sharp criticism from Ehud Olmert, a former Israeli Prime Minister. Olmert, speaking to ITV News, declared there is "no good defense" for the Israeli Defense Force's (IDF) recent ground offensive. His statement reflects a growing chorus of international condemnation. The video footage shows Israeli soldiers opening fire, forcing a group of foreign diplomats to flee for cover in Jenin. This incident underscores the volatile situation on the ground. The IDF claims the diplomats deviated from an approved route, but the video footage raises serious questions about the proportionality of the response. Meanwhile, aid agencies struggle to deliver much-needed supplies to Gaza's beleaguered population. One aid worker stated, "We've been unable to hand out food because the Israeli security clearance process is so complex." This statement highlights the severe logistical challenges faced in providing humanitarian assistance amidst the conflict. Olmert's criticism and the video's powerful imagery highlight the international concern about the humanitarian cost of the conflict. The international community is increasingly vocal in its condemnation of Israel's actions. Olmert also had a message for Donald Trump, urging him to intervene and help save Israel and the Jewish people from their own government's actions. The situation remains critical, demanding urgent international attention and action to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid and de-escalation of violence.
