Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be eliminated, he said.

Olmert added that Netanyahu should have realized that there was no possibility of achieving his goals that he announced in Gaza, accusing him of adopting a method of deception, fraud, and political showmanship, and that he represents a state of pure falsehood, as he put it.

He continued, saying, "It has now become clear that there is no chance of achieving the expectations set by Netanyahu in Gaza."
