Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Israel’s Yisrael Beiteinu party, said the caretaker government should not make decisions that could draw the country into war without parliamentary scrutiny and security approval.
In a post on X, Lieberman wrote: “I warn that a caretaker government is not authorized to make decisions that could drag Israel into war without parliamentary oversight and the full approval of all security establishment bodies.”
Before Israel’s Oct. 27 election, Lieberman asked Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to investigate Netanyahu, as EconoTimes reported at the time. KAN reported that Lieberman alleged Netanyahu had urged senior security officials for the past month to take steps that could cause an unintended confrontation with Iran.
In seeking the investigation, Lieberman argued that Israeli law requires government discussion and approval before military action that risks war or a major confrontation. EconoTimes previously covered Lieberman’s request for an investigation.
