- Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert tells Andrew Marr that Benjamin Netanyahu's days in charge are numbered, calling him an 'existential threat' to the country.
Mr Olmert believes his successor is acting like ‘Rambo’ in a ‘showdown’ with the Biden administration ‘to present himself as macho.'
Is it time for the Israeli PM to stand down?

Nothing is mentioned about illegal settlers etc.
It baffles how despite the blatant illegal settlements expanding and the settlers getting more violent bolstered by the extremist right wing party in power. People just seem bewildered when tensions explode and lead to October 7th as if it was a mere attack out of the blue for fun.
As always yes.
The entire state is illegal- that's been proven as legal fact.
Or the incredibly cruel history Palestinians have suffered due Israel’s evils ways.
@@jamesclerkin9918 Please illuminate us on that cruel history because of anything that Israel has done. My goodness, you would think the people of Gaza are a bunch of infants with no personal agency. A nation of victims. Well, not a nation because they cannot get it together to create one.
Netanyahu must not be used as a scapegoat, Israel's policy and ongoing settler colonisation at the expense Palestinian land has been going on for decades breaking international law. Hamas wouldn't have existed if Israel gave Palestinians consideration, their dignity and self determination decades ago.
Israel is still behaving in a belligerent and provactive way. There are no safe guards for the Palestinians people trapped in Rafah from the attack that is coming after the ceasefire ends in 2 weeks.
It's still a very serious situation. More international pressure needs to happen and sanctioning. Israel is behaving like a genocidal and unhinged state that calls Palestinians 'human animals' with total disregard to their human rights. The workd sees them as a pariah and boycotting their links including USA companies.
Perfect analysis !!
Totally disagree, keep fighting Israel! 🇮🇱
But with Netanyahu help remember he has been president different times for many years!
You are right ✅
As the Israeli journalist Gideon Levy pointed out, it was a relatively progressive Israeli PM (Shimon Peres) who initiated the illegal settlement programme.
Israel’s reputation will never recover
Reputation? Thousands are dead, those will never recover!
To be an Israeli now ...is a shameful thing.
Islams reputation will never recover
it didnt take long for britain s reputation to recover after the colonization of india, or to germany s reputation to recover after ww2 (just to name 2) so how is israels reputation any different?
Israel won’t last long enough for it to recover
It is not just Netanyahu, Israel society in general is proud of what the criminals of the IDF are doing in Gaza. Of course there may be some few that disagree with this nonsense but unfortunately this society has been indoctrinated from school.
Brainwashed in their hatred of Palestinians!
💯
Absolutely!!
It’s the Palestinians that are indoctrinated.
Israel has more the 2 million non-Jewish Palestinians living there, who clearly do not want to live in any other Arab country, nor do they support Hamas.
Meanwhile not a single Jewish person was left in Gaza after 2006, when the territory was handed to the Palestinians. What did they do? Vote in a terrorist organisation called Hamas. An organisation that has not allowed them any more elections since and since the 18 years in power have indoctrinated terrorist in their country.
Do some objective reading. Educate yourself on the facts
Talking about indoctrination. Have you any knowledge what the children in Gaza are taught about Israel? Do just a little bit of research and then talk about indoctrination.

@@carlosillich787Ah, the words of someone who lacks knowledge or an intelligent response.
Attack on Isreal didn’t happen on October 7th but culminated to a point were Palestinians or Hamas probably thought death is better than living in a open air prison
Don't forget hebron tragedy
What "open air prison" is that. Israeli soldiers do not patrol the streets of Gaza. The people there are free to live their lives and build a society. This "open air" prison has beach resorts and shopping centers, but there could be a lot more if Hamas did not take all the money and concrete and other supplies given to them by the West and Iran and built hundreds of miles of tunnels instead of schools and hospitals. Israel keeps the border secure because it knows that if it did not, there would be terrorist attacks daily. Don't believe me, believe Hamas and Gazans themselves. Let's be real, if Israel was anything other than a Jewish state, you wouldn't think twice about the "poor people of Gaza."

It's not just Netanyahu. It's the Israeli people. They've supported all of Israel's crimes and atrocities, for decades.
this is a permanent stain on their souls and reputation...imagine being in a zoom meeting with murderers, child killers and rapists
👍👍👍
Exactly. "Soft" Zionism still abets apartheid. And the most liberal presidents like Olmert and Ehud Barak? Research how many "military operations" they oversaw.
Agreed. Also, the US' alleged role as peacemaker in the Middle East. They have done everything to support the Israeli state, while pretending to care about the Palestinians at the same time. Do not ever buy America's alleged role as a peacemaker.
Totally agree.👍
What Israel has done in Gaza will have a tremendous negative blowback on the state of Israel for more than a generation. I don’t believe Israelis & their allies really understand the depth of the harm they have caused. Irreparable enduring harm.
People's memories are short and fleeting... everyone's attention span is so short now.
@@Crazy5exycurvy not this time. On the heels of failed Iraq war and the failed ‘war on terror’ and conflicts underwritten by western interference from Yemen to Afghanistan to Haiti & Sudan.
This grave injustice has radicalized a generation and dealt a terrible blow to institutions across the west.
They'll be lucky if their fake state lasts a generation.
I agree
And once again no consideration to the damage hamas have done, and promise to do in the future.
Interviewing one war criminal about the actions of another. What a joke!
Thr countries' leaders who supply the weapons and military power to exterminate the Palestinians; should be held accountable. They should be prosecuted and imprisoned for war crimes against a stateless and powerless people.
Those leaders are despicable war criminals and we know them.
I hear you - but WHO is going to bring the US to justice unless it’s a 100% international coalition !!

I am thankful that u could see right thru that PM BS. Once he started bsing about how sad he was about each segment of the Palestinians community, I knew his lies were around the corner
Yea, after the world turned against them the last couple U.N. votes all of a sudden they need someone to blame, and they were trying to jail him before this war. Perfect scapegoat.
Never want to hear the UK & US talk about Human Rights ever again, they have forfeited their rights to lecture others and this will forever be a stain on their legacies.
Yes so sorry & disgusted to see the idiot tory govmnt in total support of Israel and arresting people for saying at demos , from the river to the sea palestine will be free..if there is any justice any karma any fairness in our world then that day must surely come when they may return and finally be free.
agree
Even without this wicked episode the US was already in massive decline!Now that decline has only intensified!
It's Israel who's declining, a pariah-state with credit score in-decline because they cant pay for this war.
Israel and Jews create super powers. Where they settle is where the next superpower will emerge. If the US declines, Jews will make a new superpower elsewhere - China? Morocco? Arabia? Turkey? Just anywhere they will be welcomed!
Amerikkka is finished man; the sins of the past are coming back fast to haunt them.
The US has the strongest economy and military in the history of the world. US power is not in any practical sense "in decline." What the US needs to fix is the Constitution to bring it up to date with modern needs for campaign finance and anti-corruption reform. That would, of course, be a massive challenge. Global opinions about US foreign policy are funny. If Americans don't do what foreigners want, they're cruel and evil hypocrites. If they do what foreigners want, they're weak, susceptible to pressure and in decline. There's no winning move that will satisfy everyone. Therefore, the US should do what is in its strategic interests, consistent with international law.
@@dianatortolini7842you have no idea how weak the us economy is, that’s why the weaponize the us dolllar. But if the BRICS countries do what they want to do it’s over for the petrodollar. And that’s what’s coming my lad friend, who probably has never left the country in her whole entire life.

На,свое.посмотри.госодарства.
I feel in schools when their teaching about the Holocaust (and rightly so) they should now also add an extra chapter at the end - where the descendants of the survivors carried out a HOLOCAUST on the people of Gaza
Excuse me worthy leader nonsense. Palestinians don’t choose Israeli leaders so Israel should not dictate who leads the Palestinian! Again he did acknowledge that Israel is responsible as it did not start on7.10. Again not acknowledging the actual huge numbers of Palestinians. He seems to be Echoe Golda Meir famouse sick phrase about killing Palestinian children !
How is that phrase sick? She literally says that we can forgive them for killing our children.
I'm surprised that Andrew is not asking about the forceful land grab and displacement of legitimate owners 🤔
"we dont know the numbers of dead children" yeah but we do. 12,000 so far

WHO IS STOPPING MORE SETTLEMENTS & OCCUPIERS NOW?
It’s not up to Israel or any other country who the Palestinians put in power, regardless of whether it’s Hamas, the PLA or anyone else.
There are 2 examples I can think of off the top of my head. Sein Fein/IRA in Northern Ireland and the ANC in South Africa. Both with military wings that committed terrorist acts and both went on to form government in those countries. Nelson Mandela was head of the ANC’s military wing for a while and became president as well
You're reading too much positivity into it. Remember Israel and US aren't allies, Israel owns America through it its lobby. American politicians could never find this much money for their luxury lifestyles and campaigns if it wasn't for The Lobby.
Didn't 'own" the 🇺🇸 pre WW2 though, remember how those Atlantic liners were turned away and send South, etc ¿? S' only been since the Wars end and all those liberated chose America that they wormed their way into the corridors of power. Shame their Idsraelis cousins have effed up, showing true colours, in the eyes of the World. No wonder they wanted no journalists to their actions - , what a pathetic charade by half abled actors.
😂😂😂 War criminal speaking.
Are you. You must be from Hamas then
They're all war criminals in one form or another when in power.
No peace without justice for all innocence murdered
The death count numbers are actually an undercount. The “Hamas led” Gaza health ministry numbers, only include people who have died at the hospitals. They don’t include those who are missing underneath the rubble or who’ve died at home or otherwise, & whose deaths haven’t been reported by their families for whatever reason (lack of phone service, internet service, automobile fuel, etc). This is why the US state dept & the Israeli govt itself, uses these numbers & it’s why other prominent agencies & ngo’s have deemed them to be highly credible.
about 6 plus weeks ago, a neutrally trusted Jeremy Bowen reported 100.000 missing people. "we dont know the numbers".
It's shocking how even this more reflective man/ex PM of Israel, is totally deluded about how the international world has viewed Israel over the past few decades. As for his positive views on Israel's future recovery! How morally disgusting! And I say that as a jew.
Israel is no longer as it before October 7, 2023. The world communities have seen the true color of Israel.
And what happened on Oct 7? I know Hamas declared war on Israel. And now that your friends in Hamas are being defeated you want it to stop.
Always seem to gloss over the brutal Israeli apartheid. I don't always agree with Norman Finkelstein, but he is dead on to compare Hama's brutal attack on Oct 7th with Nat Turner's brutal revolt in 1831. At a certain point, the oppressed will fight back against the oppressor. In 2024, Nat Turner isn't regarded as a terrorist in American history. Let that sink in.
It's all theatre. The bombing continues. Don't fall for this act.
Bring AIPAC to justice for legalizing corruption in US Congress
And the equivalent here in UK.
This calamity will not be forgotten, and all those complicit will be punished when the dust settles. Can't sweep this under the rug by making bibi the fall guy.

Israel will not be forgiven for this. Frankly, they never had the respect of the international community as they never had any for the international community. Respect is earned and the many UN resolutions that Israel blatantly ignored lost them all the respect

Why is Andrew condoning things ? He should ask questions and not say i agree 👍🏻 with you always . When Olmert sounds moderate you know things are messed up
5:31 "We actually smashed the Hamas. We destroyed its military capacity..." Is this guy delusional?
Israel has a massive military advantage. They are able to strike from the land, sea, or air, with overwhelming firepower, troop numbers, and advanced weaponry. And what does Hamas have, rockets, mines, RPGs, and rifles all carried by foot soldiers.
Israel may have 'smashed' Hamas, but Hamas have brushed their shoulders off and smashed straight back.
Every day Israeli soldiers are wounded or killed, and their machines of war are damaged or destroyed.
It's funny, even with all of the power and money in the world behind them, Israel is just weak.
It was going so well until the end…

Through ignorance of all of us, we knew who Israel really is. Imagine that the Palestinians have lived through 26 massacres like October 7th. since 1937, and no one said anything.. I have no doubt that Hamas is only the symptom of the disease.(Israel).
The rhetoric never changes. The israeli dystopia said exactly the same thing about the PLO, then replaced them with the complicit PLA. Is it a surprise that the Palestinians chose independence rather than living under the dictate of an introduced, occupying invader?
