- Gaza should be governed by an interim peacekeeping force and then handed over to Palestinians to govern, Israel's former prime minister Ehud Olmert has told Sky News.
Mr Olmert, who ruled Israel from 2006-2009, was sharing his vision for how the crisis might move on to the next stage once Israel's political campaign is over.

It's such a shame that Olmert and Barak didn't force a peace with the palestinians back in the day when they were PMs
After Benjamin Netanyahu retires
He will also make an interview like this, I always wanted a 2 state solution
The center objective of Israel is ethno state on ALL of the territories previously know as Palestine, including West Bank Gaza and extra Golan Heights from Syria
They never want a two-state solution but they want peace with the occupation, which means they want the Palestinians to accept the occupation because they don't trust anyone, they fear what goes around comes around meaning what they did could happen to them if they give them the freedom they get stronger and then it will be hard to stop if anything happens, it's all about what if this and what if that
@@aj3314 at least he has the track record of trying.
Palestine never wants a two state solution...
@@eagle36791it was only offered once, after a million people lost their homes. Hardly the time to ask… 😅😅😅
He was in office exactly 3 months (then went to jail for 6 years)
His deputy is the current ambassador to the UK
And he has not been in any official role for 17 years.
He is pretending to be center left, he is lying, he was in the exact same political party of Netanyahu, he is just a narcissist who is abusing the situation to get attention.
This guy means nothing to anyone in Israel or Palestine, his opinion is as important and anyone else's
3 months? he was pm for 3 years, I've lived through them. He's not politically relevant anymore, that's true, but saying he is lying that he's center left when he was in charge of a literal peace process that made unprecedented offers to the Palestinians is a bit anti-facts.
Also, The guy who removed all of the settlements from Gaza was also from "Netanyahu's Party". The suicide bombers that killed Israelis on buses in the 2nd intifada? A part of them were associated with the (now moderate) Palestinian authorities. History isn't black or white.
@hannacook859 the great unknown in all of this is even if a state within a state solution could be agreed on, would it bring lasting peace? No one knows for certain, so all anyone can do is guess based on the last 75-years of history, and the stated intentions of the various Muslim power bases. It might bring peace for a period, but if the last 75-years has taught us anything, then it isn't likely to last. And in the event a war follows it is more likely to be another world war than not.

"No matter how necessary or justified it may be, never think that war is not a crime." - Ernest Hemingway
War is odd.
It is basically two sides murdering eachother. I don't get how it is ever ok. But it is unfair to single out one war, and one side in one war, and suddenly forget the twisted world acceptance of the concept of war.
@@mwran54please elaborate.
@@hannacook859murder is a legal concept for when killing is not justified. Killing in self defense is not murder. The commandment is “Thou shalt not murder.”
Now he's taking sense.
He is amongst others responsible of the massacre unfolding in Gaza now.
Olmert gave the Palestinians the best peace proposal and they rejected it as usual. Why? because they have never wanted peace.
What massacre?
Questions posed to the "crime minister"
The problem is its a singularity event horizon. For either side to get its goal, means the annihilation of the other. There aren't enough moderates on either side running things, who have the will, motive, and intelligence to find a compromise that is workable.
Otherwise its just the same kabuki theatre that has been going on for the past 50 years.
Since when has this murderer become a voice of reason?
Read about the Annapolis Conference. Olmert gave the Palestinians the best peace proposal. It is not possible to offer them anything better than this. People who support "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free", support another Holocaust of the Jewish people, not peace.
Olmert and Naftali Bennett are no better that crime minister Netanyahu. Especially the later.
While I agree that we (they) need a political solution I do not believe that there is any international group and or entity (and certainly not the United Nations) that can secure peace in Gaza and especially if Hamas remains in existence inside Gaza.
He is 100% correct
He was in jail
So was Mandela.
@Didyeaye404 Olmert is no Mandela
I would not hold that against him
@IcarianX I agree. My point is that being in jail isn't a measure of one's character.
@@IcarianX .
Hai this man is reall humen. All depends on the leaders how the civilians act. Israelis need a leader like this man❤
This former prime minister was arrested and has no authority to speak like that.
A shame.
Netanyahu?
Doesn't mean he can't express his opinion and that his ideas can't be true.
The current crime minister will also be arrested as soon as war ends, that's why he wants to continue the war.
Olmert lost the second lebanon war.
Empty talk when he was prime minister and did not do anything
Hamas is not interested in a " political horizon". It's not appropriate to reward rape, murder, the kidnapping of babies, mutilation and torture with discussion of such at this time.
Ah I see so the answer is more death, mutilation, starvation, and death of babies. 10 times as much in fact! Great solution very human and kind
Propaganda comment to justify Isreal's atrocities.
I think that has been paid back in spades already and so has most of the rest of the world.
If we let this happen and we let Israel take Gaza then we are so lacking in humanity that we don't deserve to exist anymore. This is as wrong as wrong can be.
The palestinian should have thought about it before they started a war against the only country that supplies them with water , electricity , medicine , and even jobs.
Everything that happens to them is their fault
This man should be next Israeli pm. Land should be divived half for both countries
Dude he literally was the prime minister in 2006-2009 and held peace talks, offering to the Palestinians more than ever has been offered and Abbas refused. His name is Ehud Olmert, he stood trial for financial corruption and left politics.
@@hadaslevy220 it's probably because Yasir arafat didn't have Stockholm Syndrome as Israeli government were expected . Palestine should be free from the river to the sea.
😂@@Hercules55q
Indigenous new electives for political horizon. New electives pls
Yeah, dont pull out of Gaza. That's completely idiotic.
thank goodness Olmert is no longer in power
He is a very intelligent man. I wish he could be Prime Minister today.
He was already, stalled money, was sitting in prison for a years. This man is a big clown. Read about in Wiki.
He was and hezbollah killed his political career in 2006 war and now hamas is killing netanyahu s political career also 😂😂
But no one will vote for him, he was only PM for 3 months before he had to go to jail for 6 years for corruption
His deputy which he chose, was the current ambassador to the UK
He is lying through his teeth, this guy is right wing, he was a member of the exact political party Netanyahu is in.
He is just a narcissist trying to get attention
Same old trikster
He was the prime minister. He's maybe 10% less racist than the current PM.
Says the guy who almost gave half of Israel to the Palestinians and then was convicted for corruption and sentenced to jail. Shameful.
Much better then natanyahou criminal
Low bar
Olmert has no plan on how to stop Hamas from reconstituting in Gaza. I find his opinion laughable.
Times of Israel news article titled; "For years , Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces"
CNN, New York Times, Haaretz, The Nation, India Today, CBC, and The Hill also write about the subject of propping up Hamas as a counterbalance to a unified Palestine.
As for theories on the incentive for the conflict have a look at these;
Reuters article titled; "Israel gives nod to Gaza Marine gas development, wants security assurances "
quote; "the Gaza Marine field, about 30 km (20 miles) off the Gaza coast, has remained undeveloped due to political disputes and conflict with Israel, as well as economic factors. "
Workers World also writes about Gaza offshore gas article titled; "Behind Israel’s ‘end game’ for Gaza: Theft of offshore gas reserves"
Hamas can say what they want but it will be the ordinary people of palistine who will map their future.
The have to take this opportunity for a 2 state settlement living together without walls
It could start with a help of nearly 4 billion dollars every year for indefinite time, the withdrawal of the israeli army and the withdrawal of all the settlers, independence and self determination, with that it would still need a considerable amount of time to consolidate a stable government and a true democracy so badly needed also by the israeli state.
Well yes if the USA divert all the money they give the Israelis to the Palestinian people
But Israel should be made pay for the war crimes and damage too
What "Fighting" is taking place? It is absolute genocide not fighting, please get your facts correct!
I wish he was Israel’s PM today - and that the US gets a thinking conservative like him at the next election.
It would be very foolish of Israel to leave Gaza completly after the war...
They are already thinking of the new settlements to be built once the Arabs have gone.
@@ddhh1270 that is absolutely BS.
@@ddhh1270 That would be a good idea. They should send them to the west bank and then settle gaza with people who won't launch terrorist attacks. And maybe allow the christians and jews who fled to come back.
@@simonphoenix3789Palestinian have the right to defend themselves against terrorist state, Israel was established on terrorism and on the back of Palestinians .
@@simonphoenix3789 Simon, there are Palestinian people who are Christian since the very first centuries. Saint Porphyrios Church is +1600 year old church. Look it up. How many killed by bombing? Bethlehem is in West Bank and Christian Palestinian in the neighborhood face a wall, never mind all else. Recent events of the Catholic Church in Gaza. The Muslim, Jewish (there were people of the Jewish faith living in the Holy Land throughout history) and Christian people coexisted in the entirety of the area. It wasn't celestial always, it was not this that we are all witnessing however, absolutely not. A Muslim man and his family for generations has been holding the key to the Church of the Resurrection, for centuries...
Olmert is just the lesser of two evils, but evil nonetheless. He committed horrific war crimes in Lebanon in 2006 and Gaza, in 2008-2009.
Progressive but hypocritical
He is thief and did some long time in prison who listen to a guy like this?
🇮🇩❤️🇵🇸 From The River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free 🇮🇩❤️🇵🇸
Yotam Haim, Samar Talalka and Alon Lulu Shamriz, were murdered by Israeli soldiers, because they accidentally took them for Palestinian civilians waving with white flags.
Israhell already lost the moral war. Stop supporting losers.
Hmm, talk to Bibi to see why Palestinians don't have a political horizon.
Israel will govern Gaza. Israel will govern the Judea & Samaria.
What about settlement in west bank they should back all to the Palestinian all the land be fair world
World's most cruel people love in Israel.
Quote from Zuheir Mohsen a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization :
"There's no such thing as a separate Palestinian people, there's no difference between Jordanians Palestinians Syrians... the Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The creation of a Palestinian state is a new instrument in our ongoing war against the state of Israel and for the purpose of our Arab unity".
Yes, the creation of an ethnic political movement was motivated by ethnic politcs, what's your point?
There is nothing special about the "palestinians" ethnicity as well. They are Jordanians and Egyptians@@brahimdiop5506
lol how exactly did Israel come about in the first place? Who's land was taken in 1948?
Gaza was part of Egypt in 1948 so evidently not their land
3,500 year ago.
Go read a Bible, it is a long story.
It transitioned from being part of the Ottoman Empire before WWI to the state of Israel after WWII. It was never an Arab Palestinian state. And it was Jewish land long before it became part of the Ottoman Empire.
Jews were also called Palestinians before 1948. Learn history
@@nubtube7313 Nope. It was part of Egypt from the fallimg of the Ottoman empire until 1967
“Gaza is Palestinian Territory” - Ehud Olmert
For an area that belongs to them, it sure has A LOT of Jewish History.
What that all about?
Isnt the whole world yours?
Who cares what this ex-convict said?
Gaza has Christian History too - it’s surprising the Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem as featured on Sky News thinks there are no Christians or churches in Gaza. This whilst IDF snipers are shooting at Christian worshippers in the church compound which is condemned as Terrorism by the Pope
