The failed Israeli-Palestinian peace attempt in 2008 would have succeeded if it had been given more time, said former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who came closer than any Israeli leader to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians. He and Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas would had succeeded if they had a few more years, Olmert told viewers of the J Street Conference on Sunday, the first in a two-day virtual gathering on the liberal pro-Israel organization. Among the speakers was Abbas. Olmert resigned in 2008 under a cloud of corruption and eventually served jail time. He was succeeded as prime minister by Benjamin Netanyahu, a critic of Olmert s peace moves.
