Ehud Olmert, who was prime minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009, has written an op-ed in which he says that Israel “is committing war crimes”.
“The government of Israel is currently waging a war without purpose, without goals or clear planning and with no chances of success,” the Netanyahu critic said in the piece that was published by the Israeli news outlet Haaretz.
“Never since its establishment has the State of Israel waged such a war. The criminal gang headed by Benjamin Netanyahu has set a precedent without equal in Israel’s history in this area, too.”
