Olmert: Bibi Wasted Billions over Iran Hallucinations

Local Editor

"Israeli" Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert accused Friday the current "Israeli" PM Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of wasting billions of shekels in planning an operation against the Iranian nuclear threat that has not been carried out and likely will not be carried out in the future.

In an interview with "Israeli" Channel 2, Olmert said that "in the past two years, we have spent more than NIS 11 billion on security hallucinations that were not performed and will not be performed."
In parallel, he added that there was a surplus in the military budget that should be cut, but that politicians were not willing to discuss this possibility in the lead-up to an election.

Olmert stated that the stalled so-called "peace process with the Palestinians should be the central issue being debated in the current election campaign and that the candidates were not addressing the issue."

Meanwhile, he criticized Labor leader Shelly Yacimovich specifically, stating that she had once been a supporter of the Hadash party, which supports withdrawing to the 1967 lines, but now was a "supporter of the settlers."
The former "Israeli" top official stated that "as long as the peace process remained stalled, "Israel's" situation would become increasingly difficult, "Israel" would become further isolated and ties with the US would become increasingly strained."

On another level, Olmert reiterated his support for Shaul Mofaz in the current elections, stating that he had never left Kadima.
