"The gulf between Israel’s government and the rest of the world — including its allies, the #Trump administration, the Israeli public, and the American Jewish community — is widening into a chasm. And yet some in Jewish leadership are hiding their heads in the sand.

Critics of the Netanyahu-Smotrich regime are no longer just campus protesters, or hostile-to-Israel regimes, or antisemites like the murderer of two young Jews at an AJC event in Washington DC last week. They include former prime minister Ehud Olmert..."

Seems more like he's realized that it's becoming too hard to maintain Israel's image as "the only democracy in the middle east", and is trying recover it by placing all the blame on rogue politicians. Reading the article, he still 100% stands behind his support for the last year of genocide, as well as the slow moving genocide before that. It's only now that the Israeli government is actually admitting it plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza, rather than just doing it but refusing to talk about the end goal, that he has an issue. Basically seems like he's trying to limit the scope of allowable Palestinian support to just condemning the absolute most obvious genocidal acts. He's still calling people anti-semites for opposing Israel's genocide.
