Liberman reminded of an important principle: For such an Israel we will fight

Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Liberman reminded of Theodor Herzl's principle separating faith and power, and called for preventing theocracy in Israel.

Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Liberman, in his Telegram channel, reminded of the principle laid down by the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl: the separation of faith and power. Liberman quoted Herzl's book "The Jewish State," where he unequivocally rejected the idea of theocracy, writing: "Faith unites us, science makes us free." Herzl emphasized that the clergy should not govern the state, drawing a parallel with the army, which should be kept in barracks. Liberman called not to forget this principle, stating that Israel must remain a Jewish state where tradition is honored, but religious institutions do not dictate to citizens how to live. The article also mentions a recent public conflict between Liberman and Netanyahu.
