Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert launched a scathing attack on Friday, accusing Avi Bluth, the Commander of the IDF's Central Command, of "aiding Jewish terrorism." In an interview on the program "Half the Day on Friday," Olmert stated that Bluth's actions were "unacceptable, dishonest, and contrary to his commitment, role, and status as sovereign of the State of Israel in the territories."
Olmert asserted that the violence in the territories is driven by "Jewish settler terrorism in large numbers, supported by various elements in public leadership in the territories, by the political leadership of current government ministers, whom I hope will be fired soon, and by senior ministers including the Prime Minister." He specifically identified Bluth as being at the forefront of actively supporting this terrorism.
The former prime minister emphasized that these harsh words were unprecedented in his decades-long public career. "For decades I have not taken such a direct and harsh personal stance against a general, but I cannot sit idly by, I cannot close my eyes, I cannot ignore what I see with my own eyes," Olmert said.
According to Olmert, Bluth provides backing to Jewish rioters who attempt to prevent Palestinians from harvesting their olives, turning them into victims of violent attacks.
