Yisrael Beytenu party head Avigdor Liberman takes a swipe at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s management of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, writing: “Instead of absolute victory, we got absolute humiliation.”
In a “Day 154 war status update” posted to X, Liberman charges that Israel has “lost all of its bargaining cards to pressure Hamas to release the hostages” by allowing the entry of more humanitarian aid into the coastal enclave.
“The Iranians have set up specialized centers in Gaza, the Jordanians, the Egyptians and other countries are dropping aid from the air, the US has announced the construction of a naval dock and the lax government continues to supply the Gaza Strip with water and fuel,” he writes.
Netanyahu has repeatedly said that “absolute victory” in the war with Hamas — aimed at toppling the terror group and freeing hostages captured on October 7 — is within reach for Israel.
