Likud MK joins Lieberman party

Israeli Knesset member Dan Iluz defected from the Likud Party and joined the "Yisrael Beiteinu" party led by Avigdor Lieberman, calling for support of the latter in backing the upcoming government presidency. Iluz criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of failing to lead the state, and expressed that the Likud has become a tool in the hands of religious parties. He urged the right-wing to support his new party. Iluz had previously faced party sanctions due to his opposition to the law exempting Haredim from military service, reflecting internal disagreements within the party. The endorsement of "Yisrael Beiteinu" further strengthened the liberal nationalist right-wing coalition in Israel.
