Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert urged US President Donald Trump to pressure Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu to end the ongoing war in Gaza, labeling it a “crime” and advocating for a two-state solution as the only path to peace. He criticized Netanyahu for failing to prevent the October 7 Hamas attack and for escalating military operations instead of pursuing peace. Olmert, alongside former Palestinian foreign minister Nasser Al-Qidwa, is promoting a plan for land swaps to create a Palestinian state, asserting that serious progress is impossible under the current leaderships of both Israel and Palestine.
