Ehud Olmert the first Israeli premier to be imprisoned: Olmert is not an uncontroversial figure in Israel and internationally.
He was convicted of corruption in 2014 and in 2016 became the first Israeli premier to be imprisoned, capping a years-long legal saga that forced him to resign in 2009 during an intense round of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, then released early, in 2017
Olmert and Qudwa have been traveling all over Europe in recent months, promoting their “peace initiative” which is based on the generous but failed peace proposition that Olmert presented in 2008 to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas
Abbas never rejected the peace plan He just didn’t react and waited for Olmert to step down
Wow! As Israel faces diplomatic 'tsunami' Olmert adding fuel to the raging terror volatility... former failed prime minister at that — now an expert.
Netanyahu is on the failed list too. perhaps next to be imprisoned. Most believe, he cares: more about holding power than defeating Hamas, winning war, freeing hostages.
