  • Ehud Olmert, former Prime Minister of Israel, discussed his views on the security situation Israel faces and how that shapes prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement.
    On June 4, the Wilson Center hosted a Director's Forum, "The View from Israel: A Conversation with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert." Aaron David Miller, Vice President for New Initiatives at the Wilson Center, moderated the event. Jane Harman, President, Director, and CEO of the Wilson Center, provided introductory remarks.
    Harman introduced Olmert, praising his efforts to pursue Middle East peace. "I, for one, remain bullish" on a negotiated settlement, she said, hoping that recent efforts involving Secretary of State John Kerry will help "the Middle East region become an economic powerhouse" with Israel as a key partner.

      Olmert is better than Bibi but his story about a map is nonsensical, unless he is talking about making his side chat with Abbas an official offer had he signed on a napkin😂, it can’t happen in reality with Israeli lawmakers vote on it, and it goes through all kinds of committees and court challenges… etc! And if he had the balls for his offer, he should have said it publicly and put the Palestinians in the corner in front of the whole world!

    So, this prime Minister offered a peace process and waited on Abbas to come back for a long while, and they never did. Even if Olmert was not 100% honest still it is obvious that Palestinian side never been able to accept a peace deal. How many times us presidents and Israelies tried to reach a deal but Arafat and his successors rejected it? What is stopping them? Are they affraid of their hardliners for their lives?

    Great to learn of this man's past (here) & current leadership. Learned of him via BBC Channel 4 interview with him this past week (10/7/23 forward) after awful Hamas attack on Israelis & now loss of life in Gaza. I'm learning here & elsewhere, it is always the right time to assure the right thing.
