In an interview with 103FM, Avigdor Liberman harshly attacks Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, less than two weeks before the elections. Liberman claims that Netanyahu may initiate a military operation to delay the elections, and that his considerations are purely political, not security-related. He accuses Netanyahu of failures on October 7, and claims that Netanyahu received from him an 11-page written warning in December 2021 that included the exact scenario. Liberman claims that Netanyahu knew about his close advisor Yonatan Urich's meetings with a senior Qatari official in September 2024, but refrained from removing him for fear of the information Urich holds. According to Liberman, if Urich "opens his mouth," Netanyahu will be in an embarrassing situation. Liberman expresses confidence that the change bloc will receive 61 seats, rules out sitting in a government with Netanyahu but does not rule out Likud under different leadership.
