Coverage from The Grauniad:

Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says his country is committing war crimes​

“Recent operations in Gaza have nothing to do with legitimate war goals,” he wrote. “This is now a private political war. Its immediate result is the transformation of Gaza into a humanitarian disaster area.”

“Yes, Israel is committing war crimes,” he concluded.

The social equality minister, May Golan, accused Olmert of “spitting in the face” of Israeli soldiers. “To be exact, there are innocents in Gaza – 58 of them,” she said, referring to the Israeli hostages held captive in the territory.

Some Israeli media outlets have framed Olmert’s remarks as a response to far-right outrage over the resumption of aid into Gaza, and to the inflammatory rhetoric of several Israeli politicians.

The far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said Israel is “destroying everything that’s left of the Gaza Strip” and that “the army is leaving no stone unturned”. He declared: “We are conquering, cleansing and remaining in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed.”

Smotrich said the IDF was “finally” targeting Hamas’s civilian infrastructure. “We’re eliminating ministers, bureaucrats, money handlers – everyone who holds up Hamas’s civilian rule.”

On 22 May, the Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin told TV Channel 14: “The enemy is not Hamas, nor is it the military wing of Hamas.” Feiglin is a former member of the Israeli parliament.

“Every child in Gaza is the enemy. We need to occupy Gaza and settle it, and not a single Gazan child will be left there. There is no other victory.”

They really have progressed to saying the quiet part out loud.
