Former Israeli Prime Minister, Olmert, issued a warning about the consequences Israel may face for committing crimes against Palestinians in the West Bank. He highlighted the lack of accountability for settlers who attack innocent people and Israeli soldiers, with little to no consequences.
Olmert singled out senior leaders such as National Security Minister Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Smotrich for supporting these actions. He cautioned Prime Minister Netanyahu and War Minister Gallant that arrest warrants could be issued for their involvement in the ongoing crimes.
The tension in the West Bank has escalated due to Israel’s deadly offensive in Gaza, resulting in hundreds of Palestinian casualties. The International Court of Justice has accused Israel of genocide and ordered a halt to military operations in Gaza.
Olmert’s warning serves as a stark reminder of the potential repercussions Israel may face for its actions against Palestinians, urging leaders to take responsibility for the ongoing violence.
