Olmert to BBC: Israel's Gaza Actions Nearing War Crimes, War Lacks Aim

Ehud Olmert, who led Israel as prime minister from 2006 to 2009, criticized Israel's military actions in Gaza during a BBC interview on Tuesday, describing them as nearly constituting a war crime and calling the conflict pointless.
Olmert's remarks follow ongoing blockade and military operations since 2 March, which have blocked food and aid into Gaza and prompted growing domestic and international criticism.
A number of Israeli leaders, among them Education Minister Yoav Kisch and Social Equality Minister May Golan, strongly criticized Olmert’s remarks, accusing him of defaming Israel and expressing support for terrorist organizations.
On Monday, the UK, along with France and Canada, warned Israel that it could face specific measures if it does not stop its military operations and end the blockade, citing concerns over violations of humanitarian law.
The critiques and international pressure underscore concerns about the war's morality, limited chances of saving hostages, and calls to end hostilities and allow urgent humanitarian aid into Gaza.
