'The state is bankrupt': Liberman attacks Netanyahu over Gaza aid flow

At the Kerem Shalom crossing, Avigdor Liberman attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the entry of aid trucks into Gaza, claiming Israel is surrendering to US dictates and returning to the containment doctrine. He alleged that 20% of the value of goods in each truck goes to Hamas, and that 40% of the $400 million transferred to Gaza reaches the military wing. Liberman added that the American military base proves the renunciation of independence, and that the government has no right to exist.

Yisrael Beiteinu chairman, MK Avigdor Liberman, today (Wednesday) attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Kerem Shalom crossing over the entry of aid trucks into the Gaza Strip. Liberman accused Israel of surrendering to US dictates and said Netanyahu has given up independence in making security decisions. According to him, "We are in a complete return to the same doctrine and containment that brought us to the October 7 massacre." He claimed that "every truck that enters - 20% of the value of the goods goes into Hamas's pocket," and that out of the $400 million Netanyahu agreed to transfer to Gaza, 40% goes to Hamas's military wing. He further added that the trucks pay taxes to Hamas and are coordinated with it, and that Israeli suppliers are forced to buy goods mainly in Turkey, which launders Hamas funds. Liberman noted that the American military base built in Israel proves the renunciation of independence, and concluded by saying that "this government has no right to exist." The article quotes only Liberman, with no response from Netanyahu or the government.
