Israel's former prime minister, Ehud Olmert, has accused the current prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, of wasting almost $3bn preparing for a war on Iran that never took place, underlining how seriously Netanyahu considered launching an attack in the last two years.

The public criticism of Netanyahu, who is expected to be re-elected later this month, follows some scathing criticism of the prime minister by the former head of Israel's domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet, Yuval Diskin. Diskin accused Netanyahu of spending the money on "harebrained adventures that haven't, and won't, come to fruition". The charge was levelled by Olmert as Netanyahu once again pledged that Iran would be top of his agenda if he was re-elected.
