Enough Is Enough. Israel Is Committing War Crimes

Ehud Olmert, who served as Israel's Prime Minister from 2006 to 2009, published an op-ed on May 22, 2025, sharply criticizing Israel for committing war crimes in Gaza.
Olmert criticized the current administration's military offensive and months-long blockade that follow Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks which killed over 1,200 Israelis.
French President Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Carney, and UK Prime Minister Starmer jointly urged Israel to stop military operations and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza amid rising civilian death tolls.
According to Gaza Health Ministry figures, 52,615 people have died since the conflict began, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned Israel’s intensifying offensive as causing atrocious death and destruction.
Olmert warned Israel risks international isolation and prosecution by the International Criminal Court unless it halts what he called a pointless war marked by deliberate, widespread civilian slaughter.
