Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government constitutes “a real danger to Israel’s security,” declares Avigdor Liberman, the chairman of the hawkish opposition party Yisrael Beytenu.

“The October 7 government is funding Hamas with public money, through trucks loaded with ‘aid,’ and then sends our finest sons to fight strengthened and equipped terrorists,” he posts on X, following the IDF’s announcement of the deaths of five soldiers overnight in Gaza.

“This government is a real danger to Israel’s security and must go home,” he says.
