Former PM Olmert on the Dead Terrorist Lover Erekat: "He was a man of peace"

This convicted thief, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, is a bono-fide lunatic consumed by his hate for Netanyahu.... but finds love in his polluted heart for an animal that  encouraged violence on his brothers and sisters. Erekat promoted, financed and pushed for the armed struggle against the State of Israel.

 This sick loser obsessed with Netanyahu writes a column full of lies and fabricated tales in the Jerusalem Post every single week... he is an irrelevant egotistical narcissist has-been. He is trying in this interview, to humanize a sick now dead dog.

 Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Tuesday hailed Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Secretary-General Saeb Erekat as "a man of peace, a man of honor".

Erekat died on Tuesday at the age of 65 from COVID-19. He had been treated in an Israeli hospital in recent weeks.

Speaking to i24NEWS, Olmert, who negotiated with the Palestinian Authority in 2008, said Erekat "was anxious to resolve the historical conflict between Israel and the Palestinians with a peace agreement."

Saying that negotiating with Erekat was not easy, Olmert asserted that "we were very close to achieving peace in 2008, when I negotiated on behalf of Israel, and Mahmoud Abbas and Saeb Erekat negotiated on behalf of the Palestinians."

He stressed that Erekat had nothing to do with the fact that the talks ended up bearing little fruit, pointing at PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas as the one who was supposed to make the ultimate decision.

Olmert argued that Erekat represented the Palestinian Arabs in "a much more moderate manner than many others," saying he had agreed to a demilitarized Palestinian state, one that would have no army -- only the law enforcement agencies.

Erekat was rushed to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem last month, after he was infected with the coronavirus.

A survivor of pulmonary fibrosis, Erekat was at elevated risk for the coronavirus, and was listed in serious condition when he was admitted to the hospital.
