Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has told Irish public broadcaster RTE that the Us-Iran agreement may be seen as a “betrayal” in Israel, Al Jazeera reports.
“I think that maybe from the point of view of the original position of [Israeli PM] Netanyahu, it may be interpreted as a betrayal,” Olmert says.
He adds that the sitting prime minister would be unlikely to say so publicly because he’s “entirely, completely dependent on the relations and support” of Trump.
Olmert believes “the door is open” to an agreement between Israel and Lebanon, adding that Israel should withdraw from southern Lebanon as part of negotiations.
“We don’t need any territory in the south of Lebanon … We should pull out completely from the south of Lebanon and make all the necessary adjustments for a territorial agreement, and we should try to make peace,” he states.
