Yisrael Beytenu party chairman MK Avigdor Liberman attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, claiming that his press conference on Monday was not related to the security situation, but rather was called in wake of recent polls, which showed the current coalition losing seats.
Every person who knows Netanyahu understands that he is not qualified to serve as Prime Minister, Liberman told Galei Tzahal (IDF Radio) in an interview. Everyone understands that he is just the execution contractor for his son Yair.
The response was to the public opinion polls. Once a coward, always a coward, and it will remain so. The press conference was organized following the polls and not because of the security situation, he added.
Liberman was speaking following Netanyahu’s speech in which he blamed the previous government for the current wave of terrorism in Israel.Netanyahu pointed an accusing finger at the protests against the judicial reform and claimed that our enemies interpreted the calls for refusal to serve as a weakness in our national strength.
Criticizing the previous government led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, Netanyahu said, The previous government signed an agreement of surrender to Hezbollah, without any compensation. He added that yesterday I met the head of the opposition, and I asked him: When you declare that Israel is collapsing, how do you think this is received by our enemies? , they hear it and see it and write about it.
