Israeli troopers are suffering from nightmares, the financial system is collapsing, and diplomacy eroding, former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman stated Monday.
“Nine months have passed since the deadly surprise attack by Hamas on the state of Israel and its people, and it seems as though nothing has changed within the Israeli leadership,” Lieberman wrote in an article revealed on the Israeli news website Walla.
“Children and adults, soldiers, and reservists are suffering from nightmares about what has happened and what might happen. The Israeli economy is collapsing, and Israeli diplomacy is eroding,” the chief of the right-wing opposition Yisrael Beiteinu Party added.
Referring to tensions between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah, Lieberman stated: “The north is desolate and scorched; Iran continues to arm itself; and while all this is happening, the corrupt government continues as if nothing has happened.”
“Negotiations for the release of hostages should take place away from the cameras, allowing the professional team led by Nitzan Alon (responsible for the missing persons file in the Israeli army) to lead the process with full support,” Liberman stated.
Meanwhile, Lieberman stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will dissolve the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) in November.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu will dissolve the Knesset in November,” he was quoted as saying at an financial convention in Tel Aviv by Israeli every day Maariv.
“I hope we can disperse the Knesset before then. We want a broad wall-to-wall Zionist coalition, without that it is impossible to fix anything,” he added.
Despite Netanyahu’s repeated refusal to carry early elections amid the continuing struggle in Gaza, the Israeli opposition has been pushing for a brand new vote.
The present authorities was shaped on the finish of 2022 following basic elections and is legally anticipated to stay in workplace for 4 years until early elections are held.
Israel has killed almost 38,700 Palestinians in Gaza since an Oct. 7 cross-border assault by Hamas that claimed 1,200 lives and took one other 250 as hostages. Israeli actions have triggered a humanitarian catastrophe and an ongoing trial over genocide on the International Court of Justice. Negotiations for a everlasting cease-fire and launch of captives proceed however haven’t succeeded but.
