Lieberman missed? King of Jordan called Israel a regional threat at the UN | Watch

King Abdullah II of Jordan harshly attacked Israel from the UN podium, accusing it of "war crimes" and attempting to "erase the Palestinian presence," and warned that the Israeli government has become a "regional threat." The remarks came hours before Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman proposed transferring security and administrative responsibility for Areas A and B to Jordan.

King Abdullah II of Jordan launched a scathing attack against Israel from the UN podium. In his speech, the king accused Israel of "war crimes" and attempting to "erase the Palestinian presence," while warning that "the expansionist appetite of the Israeli government has become a regional threat." The remarks came against the backdrop of a proposal by Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman to transfer security and administrative responsibility for Areas A and B to Jordan. Lieberman outlined his plan in an interview with the "B'Sheva" podcast, and later clarified his remarks, stating he meant Areas A and B, while emphasizing that Israel must maintain full control over Area C. The article presents the king's speech as an unusually harsh outburst, using terms like "unbridled attack" to describe his words, and links the timing of the speech to Lieberman's proposal.
