Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu from Jewish Power said in an interview with ynet studio that "Olmert is a perverted person. He compares Gaza to concentration camps? It's terrible and awful, he is spreading slander about us around the world." He added that he spoke about this with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir: "I discussed this issue with him, it may be that there's no choice but to put such a person behind bars. There's no other way to stop his hatred," he said.
