Liberman in a statement that will decide the election outcome: 'I won't sit with him'

Avigdor Liberman criticized the opposition and rejected an alliance with Ra'am, saying that the struggle for positions helps Netanyahu stay in power. He also called Likud 'a lightweight version of an ultra-Orthodox party.' Without Ra'am, the left camp will not be able to form a coalition.

The chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, Avigdor Liberman, in an interview with radio station 103FM, sharply criticized the head of the Yashar party, Gadi Eisenkot, and other opposition leaders. He stated that discussing the distribution of leadership positions before the elections plays into the hands of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, distracting from the main goal of changing the government and breaking with the ultra-Orthodox parties. Liberman also criticized Likud, calling it 'a lightweight version of an ultra-Orthodox party,' and categorically rejected the possibility of the Ra'am party participating in a future coalition, citing the events of the 'October coup.' According to polls, without Ra'am's support, the left camp will not be able to form a government, as it lacks the necessary 61 mandates. Liberman's statement casts doubt on the prospects of forming a coalition by left-wing forces.
