Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has called for the dissolution of the current government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The call comes after nine long months of relentless fighting in Gaza, with Olmert emphasizing the urgent need to end the war that has left both sides reeling.
Olmert, a vocal critic of Netanyahu, decried the government’s lack of strategic planning and decision-making abilities, stating that they “do not know what to do” in the face of the ongoing war. He pointed out that Hamas has managed to survive despite the prolonged fighting, highlighting the failure of the current administration to achieve its objectives.
Meanwhile, tensions within the ruling coalition are reaching a breaking point, with Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir threatening to leave Netanyahu isolated if he is not included in crucial discussions about a potential ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal. The rift between Netanyahu and Gallant is just one of many conflicts within the government, as reported by Israeli news website Mako.
As the Israeli occupation military and security establishment push for a resolution to the conflict, analysts believe that time is running out for all sides involved. Recent positive feedback from Hamas regarding ceasefire talks and a potential prisoner exchange deal has injected hope into the negotiations, signaling a possible turning point in the ongoing war on Gaza.
