Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud reacts to scathing criticism by Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman, who said Netanyahu intends to take Israel on security “adventures” — likely a war or operation against the Palestinians — for personal and political reasons

“National inciter Avigdor Liberman continues to incite with lies. All Israeli citizens, including Netanyahu’s critics, know he steers the country responsibly without getting into unnecessary ‘adventures,'” Likud says in a statement, adding that the previous decade had been “the quietest decade in Israeli history.”

“Had Liberman lowered taxes and prices with the same proficiency with which he lies, Israel citizens would have more money in their pockets,” Likud adds.
