On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to the former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert. He discusses his opposition the continuation of Israel’s war on Gaza, the arrogance and complacency of the Israeli leadership which allowed October 7th to occur, Benjamin Netanyahu’s failed approach of flirting with Hamas and ignoring all warnings of an upcoming Hamas operation, Israel’s plan for Palestinians which could become ethnic cleansing, the extreme polarisation of Israeli society and the potential for civil war, the unforgivable and intolerable amount of innocent Palestinians killed in Gaza, his message to Arabs and Muslims that there are Israelis opposed to Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, what he says really happened in the failed negotiations between him and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for a two-state solution, and much more.
