US EditionEx-Israeli PM Ehud Olmert slams Netanyahu for framing Carney as enemy of Israel
Olmert supports Carney's two-state solution stance and accuses Netanyahu of prolonging the Israel-Hamas conflict to maintain power and distort Israel's global image.
- On Thursday in Ottawa, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert said Benjamin Netanyahu portrays Mark Carney as hostile to Israel, speaking at an Institute for Peace and Diplomacy event.
- Critics including Olmert say political survival explains Netanyahu prolonging the war to maintain his far-right governing coalition and avoid corruption charges, fueling the diplomatic rift with Mark Carney.
- Olmert told The Canadian Press that he endorses Carney’s two-state stance and said, `I only advise the people of Canada to oppose the Israeli government. That's perfectly legitimate,` when asked about criticism.
- Senior Canadian officials said multiple attempts to schedule a call between Netanyahu and Mark Carney have failed, though Carney spoke briefly with Isaac Herzog in May.
- After the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks, Palestinian militants killed 1,200 people in Israel, Gaza suffered bombardment with what Hamas says have been 65,000 deaths, and Olmert said Donald Trump’s support prolongs the war.
