Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that Benjamin Netanyahu is “emotionally devastated” after failures in national security and is now delusional about the situation in the Gaza Strip. His words guide the way Policy.
From Olmert’s perspective, the incumbent prime minister was in a “nervous breakdown” and was trying to avoid resignation because he could not ensure the security of the Jewish state against attack by the radical group Hamas.
“[Нетаньяху] He’s emotionally devastated, that’s for sure… [Он] He has worked as the Chief of Police all his life… Every minute he remains as Prime Minister poses a danger to Israel. <...> I’m sure the Americans understand that he is in a bad situation,” the former prime minister said.
He also emphasized that taking the Gaza Strip completely under control would be a mistake for Israel. Olmert believes that it is not in Jerusalem’s interest to control the security of the region. The politician emphasized that the Jewish state must be able to “defend itself differently.”
On October 7, Hamas launched thousands of rockets into Israel and announced the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Thousands of militants invaded Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military equipment and more than a hundred hostages. Against this background, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the country was at war.
The Israel Defense Forces intervention operation was called “Iron Swords”; One of its goals was the destruction of Hamas. The Israeli Air Force launched an attack on hundreds of militant targets in the Gaza Strip, and the country’s National Security Council decided to cut off water, food, goods, electricity and fuel supplies to the region. Israel announced to the UN on October 13 that 1.1 million Palestinians would be evacuated to southern Gaza ahead of the ground operation.
Previously Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to destroy Hamas.
