Avigdor Lieberman has stopped answering calls from opposition leaders, according to Middle East Eye, as negotiations to resolve Israel's post-election deadlock accelerate. The former Netanyahu ally's move signals a potential shift in coalition dynamics at a critical moment in government formation talks.
Lieberman's decision to shun the opposition comes as efforts intensify to forge a national unity government. The development suggests he may be aligning more closely with Netanyahu's faction rather than exploring alternative governing arrangements with centrist or leftist parties.
