Liberman: Israel Faces Global Isolation, Netanyahu Responsible
The article focused on the criticisms made by Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Yisrael Beiteinu, against the Israeli government led by Benjamin Netanyahu. He considered that Israel has become a pariah and internationally isolated, comparing its stance to North Korea and Iran. He noted that the government has failed to establish its authority and ensure personal security, especially with the deteriorating security situation and the aftermath of October 2023 events. As a result, Lieberman emphasized the importance of forming a stable government after the elections, led by a consensus candidate, aiming to achieve a comfortable parliamentary majority (63-64 seats). He also highlighted that the main issue will revolve around mandatory military conscription, warning that failure to implement it could lead Israel to become a state governed by religious law, and he rejected partial judicial reforms associated with "judicial overhaul," calling for a clear constitutional framework to manage the relationship between religion and the state. He criticized the current government for being sectarian and dividing society, refusing to make any concessions on mandatory youth conscription, and affirmed that his stance on this remains firm. Additionally, Lieberman discussed his strategic approach toward Iran and Lebanon, stressing the need to overthrow the Iranian regime and replace it, and argued that Israel should have undertaken coordinated military action with moderate countries to deter Hezbollah.
