Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Monday likened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a “godfather” who heads a criminal organization made up of Likud ministers.
“I saw it [Netanyahu’s speech ahead of the opening trial hearing] and I had a feeling it was a scene from the 'Godfather' movie,” said Olmert in an interview with Ynet. “The head of a crime organization surrounded by people who execute orders.”
"What happened yesterday was a riot staged by criminals, headed by Israel's prime minister,” Olmer told Ynet. “In my opinion, a strong person can speak quietly. The guiltier one feels, the more threatening he sounds.”
