'It is a really bad idea' Former Israeli PM Olmert on Netanyahu's Gaza plans | DW News

Talks on a hostage release and ceasefire deal in Gaza appear to be at a standstill. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is leaning towards expanded military operations, while Hamas is demanding that the humanitarian situation be addressed - before it even returns to talks. Netanyahu is at odds with the chief of the IDF, who opposes a total takeover of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli PM has said he'll convene his security cabinet to discuss how to proceed. On this, we speak to Ehud Olmert, Israel's prime minister from 2006-2009.
