Israel-Gaza war: Former Israeli prime minister criticises Israel’s security failings | BBC Newsnight
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

I hope the Israeli people can wake up and understand that this is the only fair solution if there is to be peace in the region. My Israeli friends are doing ironman’s, going to psychedelic parties, traveling the world, and working corporate jobs… all people deserve this! The Us and Uk also needs to wake up! Just like Hamas did a Terrorist act, The Us and Uk governments have committed many Terrorist acts of the years, Iraq is just one example… we need to stop the hate and think with our hearts!

As an Israeli I will tell you what the citizens think of Olmert:
– He is a prime minister who came to power as a substitute when Eric Sharon was ill.
– He was accused and spent time in prison for the crimes of "bribery and fraud" he is corrupt.
– His daughter is from the extreme left and regularly demonstrates against Israel.
There is no Israeli who appreciates him. Neither right nor left.
The BBC loves such people who speak against the State of Israel, but the truth is that Ehud Olmert is not considered anything in Israel.
No one remembers him and he is of no interest to anyone, even many see him as mentally ill and corrupt

The Zionist regime in Israel is (in fact) slaughtering the Israeli people; why?!
Under the false pretense of the so-called Promised Land, it is leading the citizens of Israel to death, almost deliberately, blatantly, by ensuring that every citizen is locked into this ideology and that every Jew is conditioned to the point that this utopia will surely happen…
So Zionist Israel says die for this ideology, it says your life doesn't matter, what matters to us is
It calls it "the promised land".
With such an evil doctrine, Israel enters people's brains/subconsciousness and turns its citizens into manchurts… And the Jews living in Israel (including girls) do not question this at all, I mean, are these people stupid, retarded….
After all, they are burning, destroying and ruining their own lives for a pipe dream.
Doesn't a smart person question this?! How can people who have not lost their minds, who have no chance/probability of coming to this world again, not think about it!…
Are the Jews living in Israel stupid,
What kind of idiocy is this, (Israel is slaughtering innocent people and doing it with the help of its dumbed down citizens) Jews living in Israel do not question this !!! They slaughter innocent people (Babies, Children, Women, Old People),
The slaughtered innocents are also going to the land of eternal bliss (no doubt).
And where are those who slaughtered them going?!
If they are dead, they go to hell; if they are not dead yet (they have already sold their souls and bodies to the Zionist regime), they live a life of isolation, humiliation and insecurity.
For Israel, the lives of its citizens mean nothing.
No matter how cruel Israel is,
Israeli citizens will never feel safe, because they will never find security. Both in their own country and around the world…
They will always be reacted against by Humanity (People who have not lost their Humanity) and they will always be hated and cursed.
Look at the history of the representatives of the Zionist regime;
These inhuman creatures were expelled from many European countries in history, and it was the Muslims who patronized them. When they were expelled from Spain, it was the Ottoman Turkish State that protected, protected, gave them a place, settled them and provided them with job opportunities.
I ask you,
Is the Zionist regime's decades-long policy of massacre any different from the genocide (of the Jews by Hitler)?
It is not different at all.
History has witnessed a number of periods when many tyrants ruled:
Genghis Khan, Hulagu, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini, just to name a few.
Today, it is Israel (which bears the title of Terror State) that carries out (such) massacres.
What the Terror State of Israel practices is State terrorism.
This terror,
(God willing) humanity will put a stop to it and those responsible will be held to account (without any doubt)…
Jewish youth who have to do conscription will also be ostracized and live in insecurity,
and psychologically they will be finished…
So what to do, what to do?!
First of all, Jewish citizens living in Israel must rise up and overthrow the Zionist regime…
Let them not be afraid, let them rise up,
Because the whole world will be on their side.
If the people of Israel arrest the representatives of the Zionist regime, neutralize them and hand them over to the authorities to be tried in an international court for their crimes against humanity, they will live a smoother, more comfortable and prosperous life in their geography; if they do not do this, their lives in this world and in the Hereafter will be in despicable. I appeal to the Jews who have not lost their reason and conscience: Rise up!
Rise up against the regime, arrest those responsible, neutralize them and hand them over to the independent authorities. This is the only way you and your children will have peace.
The choice is yours.

Thanks for interviewing Mr. Olmert. It is important to make clear that not all jewish people and Israeli citizens are supportive of Netanyahu's and Ben Gvir's brutal treatment of civilians. Although we also need to realize that October 7th created a significant trauma to the Isreali people.

The de facto reality on the ground, whether Israel wants to admit it, or not, is that there is single state from the river to the sea. It is the state of Israel and includes the occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank. It is an apartheid state in. The two state solution is dead due to ongoing settlements which are illegal under international law, but Israel continues to disregard them.

Mr. Olmert would have ethnically cleansed Gaza much more efficiently if he had not gone to prison for fraud and tax evasion.
"There is no doubt in my mind that very soon the government of Israel is going to have to address the demographic issue with the utmost seriousness and resolve. This issue above all others will dictate the solution that we must adopt. In the absence of a negotiated agreement – and I do not believe in the realistic prospect of an agreement – we need to implement a unilateral alternative… More and more Palestinians are uninterested in a negotiated, two-state solution, because they want to change the essence of the conflict from an Algerian paradigm to a South African one. From a struggle against 'occupation,' in their parlance, to a struggle for one-man-one-vote. That is, of course, a much cleaner struggle, a much more popular struggle – and ultimately a much more powerful one. For us, it would mean the end of the Jewish state… the parameters of a unilateral solution are: To maximize the number of Jews; to minimize the number of Palestinians; not to withdraw to the 1967 border and not to divide Jerusalem… Twenty-three years ago, Moshe Dayan proposed unilateral autonomy. On the same wavelength, we may have to espouse unilateral separation… [it] would inevitably preclude a dialogue with the Palestinians for at least 25 years."
