Ehud Olmert said Donald Trump waspathetic and crazy for attacking Benjamin Netanyahu because he recognized Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election.
Olmert suggested in the opening session of the Annual Leadership Dialogue on Israel-UK-Australia Relations that Netanyahu did what most world leaders do when they see a duly elected president.
I haven't spoken to him since. In an interview with an Israeli journalist, Trump told him to fuck him.
Trump said he liked Netanyahu but also liked loyalty. He could have kept quiet. He made a terrible mistake.
Olmert called Trump's reaction crazy. He said that Trump was judging everything according to his own interests.
The relationship of Israel and America is dependent on the personal desires of Donald Trump, as if the relationship of Israel and America is solely dependent on him. This is crazy. Olmert thinks he is a pathetic person.
He pointed out that Netanyahu waited so long to congratulate Biden that it became embarrassing from the friendliest nation to America.
Although Netanyahu appreciated the work of the former president, he said that Israel's relationship with the U.S. remains vital and that it was important to "congratulate the incoming President".
It is very unusual for Olmert to defend Netanyahu. He said that he doesn't trust or believe in Netanyahu's integrity.
Netanyahu gave up the role of prime minister in June of last year to Naftali Bennett. He is the leader of the opposition in Israel.
Olmert was sentenced to 18 months in prison for corruption and obstruction of justice after he was convicted of accepting bribes when he was mayor of Jerusalem. He was the Israeli prime minister from 2006 to 2009.
Olmert made comments about Trump in a video clip that was shown during the opening session of the Leadership Dialogue.
