Olmert tells Al Jazeera ‘sorry’ for death of Hamas leader’s son

The former Israeli prime minister apologized for the death of Hamam al-Hayya, the son of Hamas's main negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Saturday expressed regret over the collateral damage caused by Israel’s Sept. 9 airstrike on Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar.

During an interview with Qatari news outlet Al Jazeera, Olmert said he was “sorry” for the death of Hamam al-Hayya, the son of Hamas’s main negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya, who is described by Al Jazeera as “now one of five leaders steering Hamas’s leadership council.”

“A child should not be a victim … neither should his wife, who was hurt. We are fighting terrorism and they will be punished when the time comes, but the family is another matter,” he told Al Jazeera. The Qatar-based outlet has been banned in Israel and many Arab countries for disseminating Islamist propaganda.

He lost his mind. Completely. Jewish people produce both: great ones and miserable “shmucks “. Olmer is one of “shmucks “.

When a person has a conviction of a political, social or religious belief that is counter to the mainstream or faction, they put their family in danger as well.

Ehud Olmert. I'm not going to share a tear over the Israel killing terrorists in Doha, Qatar. How can you have any sympathy to terrorists who kill Jewish ✡️ people?
