- Ehud Olmert, who was Israeli prime minister between 2006 and 2009, has spoken about who he thought was to blame for the security failings ahead of the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October.
Hamas has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK and other governments.
During his time in office, Mr Olmert wanted a two-state solution, offering to withdraw from most of the occupied West Bank.
His deal ended when he was forced from office in a corruption scandal.
BBC Newsnight’s Joe Inwood spoke to him about the Israel-Gaza conflict.

this is the third interview I have seen with the former Israeli PM & his stance has not change . I salute you
He knows the root cause and have the solution too.
The man makes sense.
As an Israeli I agree with everything Olmert said
Before people eulogize this guy, they need to recall that he gave the order for Operation Cast Lead, the 2008/9 attack on Gaza that killed well over a thousand people.
I believe Netanyahu knew Hamas was going to attack and helped manipulate the attack to happen because he needed it to wage the major war he wanted, to achieve the goals he wanted, which he has clearly and strongly expressed prior to the attack.
Why are you both ignoring the settlers putting the impoverished Palestinians out of their homes and land with Isreali military support that led to Oct' 5th.
Mr. Olmert has some of the right ideas. They have to learn to live in peace or be doomed to repeat this senseless cycle of insanity.
What an amazing interview. He has explained with great clarity the reason for the colossal failure of IDF in securing the Gaza border -- as has already been pointed out by several former IDF soldiers who were working on this task when serving in the military. He has also acknowledged that some in Israel will not accept removing the settlers from the West Bank, but that Israel must do it in order to enable the two state solution.
Speaking sense. This man doesn't appear to be a psychopath as most Israeli spokes ppl undoubtedly are today.
Thanks so much for posting,
Why isn’t he being featured all over the news!?
He was a good prime minister n he's a good man... Love from Sénégal 😊
mr Olmert about two state solutions well said hope mejority Israeli agree with you.
Spoken like a true leader who understands people....
If my next-door neighbour repressed and oppressed me for 75 years, just because they could (ie. massive military support from elsewhere), then did you honestly think that at some point I wouldn’t punch back? Last time I checked, in a boxing match,
A very wise man 🙏
"security failings"?
This guy is speaking facts
Hi Ehud. Nice to see you (again)! It is a fact Netanyahu plays politics to appease his base, i.e., the settlers, just like Arik did. Lost lives is of no consequence to this sort of politicians, Jewish or otherwise.
