PARIS: US President Donald Trump should tell Israel鈥檚 leader Benjamin Netanyahu 鈥渆nough is enough,鈥� a former Israeli prime minister told AFP, denouncing the continuation of the war in Gaza as a 鈥渃rime鈥� and insisting a two-state solution is the only way to end the conflict.
Ehud Olmert, prime minister between 2006-2009, said in an interview in Paris that the United States has more influence on the Israeli government 鈥渢han all the other powers put together鈥� and that Trump can 鈥渕ake a difference.鈥�
He said Netanyahu 鈥渇ailed completely鈥� as a leader by not preventing the October 7, 2023 attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas that sparked the war.
He said while the international community accepted Israel鈥檚 right to self-defense after October 7, this changed when Netanyahu spurned chances to end the war in March and instead ramped up operations.
Netanyahu 鈥渉as his personal interests which are prioritized over what may be the national interests,鈥� Olmert charged.
Analysts say Netanyahu fears that if he halts the war, hard-line members of his coalition will walk out, collapsing the government and forcing elections he could lose.
鈥淚f there is a war which is not going to save hostages, which cannot really eradicate more of what they did already against Hamas and if, as a result of this, soldiers are getting killed, hostages maybe get killed and innocent Palestinians are killed, then to my mind this is a crime,鈥� said Olmert.
鈥淎nd this is something that should be condemned and not accepted,鈥� he said.
Trump should summon Netanyahu to the White House Oval Office and facing cameras, tell the Israeli leader: 鈥溾€橞ibi: enough is enough鈥�,鈥� Olmert said, using the premier鈥檚 nickname.
鈥淭his is it. I hope he (Trump) will do it. There is nothing that cannot happen with Trump. I don鈥檛 know if this will happen. We have to hope and we have to encourage him,鈥� said Olmert.
Despite occasional expressions of concern about the situation in Gaza, the US remains Israel鈥檚 key ally, using its veto at the UN Security Council and approving billions of dollars in arms sales.

Hamas鈥檚 unprecedented attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.
Militants abducted 251 hostages, 54 of whom remain in Gaza, including 32 the Israeli military says are dead.
Israel鈥檚 retaliatory offensive has killed 54,880 people, mostly civilians, according to the Gaza health ministry, figures the United Nations deems reliable.
Along with former Palestinian foreign minister Nasser Al-Qidwa, Olmert is promoting a plan to end decades of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to create a Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel.
Both sides would swap 4.4 percent of each other鈥檚 land to the other, according to the plan, with Israel receiving some West Bank territory occupied by Israeli settlers and a future Palestinian state territory that is currently part of Israel.
Ahead of a meeting this month in New York co-hosted by France and 萝莉视频 on steps toward recognizing a Palestinian state, Olmert said that such a plan is 鈥減ractical, is doable, is relevant, is valid and is real.鈥�
Olmert spent over a year in prison from 2016-2017 after being convicted in corruption scandals that ended his political career and efforts to forge peace.
A longtime political rival of Netanyahu even though they both emerged from the same Likud right-wing party, he also faces an uphill struggle to convince Israeli society where support for a Palestinian state, let alone land swaps, is at a low ebb after October 7.
鈥淚t requires a leadership on both sides,鈥� said Olmert. 鈥淲e are trying to raise international awareness and the awareness of our own societies that this is not something lost but offers a future of hope.鈥�
Al-Qidwa, who is due to promote the plan alongside Olmert at a conference organized by the Jean-Jaures Foundation think tank in Paris on Tuesday, told AFP the blueprint was the 鈥渙nly game in town and the only doable solution.鈥�
But he said societies in Israel and the Palestinian territories still had to be convinced, partly due to the continuation of the war.
鈥淭he moment the war comes to an end we will see a different kind of thinking. We have to go forward with acceptance of the co-existence of the two sides.鈥�
But he added there could be no hope of 鈥渟erious progress with the current Israeli government and current Palestinian leadership鈥� under the aging president Mahmud Abbas, in office now for two decades.
鈥淵ou have to get rid of both. And that is going to happen,鈥� he said, labelling the Palestinian leadership as 鈥渃orrupt and inept.鈥�
