Israel may ‘cease to exist’ by 2026 if Netanyahu remains in power, Lieberman warns


Lieberman said in an interview with the Hebrew-language Maariv daily newspaper that Netanyahu is leading Israel “toward destruction” as he is incapable of managing the occupying entity.

According to Lieberman Netanyahu is primarily focused on maintaining his hold on power.

“Israel is facing existential threats and is undergoing a multi-dimensional crisis encompassing political, economic, and security issues—the most significant since its establishment.”

He criticized the entire political system in Israel, saying that it is compromised by interest groups.

Lieberman also censured the Israeli prime minister’s handling of the months-long war in the besieged Gaza Strip and the regime’s failure to prevent the retaliatory Hamas-led Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7 last year.

Lieberman has previously called for the ouster of Netanyahu’s cabinet, underlining that the premier’s removal from power would be a reward for Israelis.

In addition to opposition leaders, Israeli settlers have over the past months railed against Netanyahu and his cabinet and condemned the regime’s refusal to negotiate with the Palestinian resistance for the release of the Israeli captives, who are being held by Hamas in Gaza.
