Avigdor Liberman, the Israeli secular nationalist who built his political career on unyielding principles, is now advocating compromise to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Al-Monitor. Liberman, who once served as Netanyahu's protégé, has turned against his former mentor in a reversal for the politician known for rigid ideological positions.
The strategic shift reflects Liberman's determination to mobilize opposition to Netanyahu's continued leadership. His willingness to abandon his trademark hardline stance suggests the depth of his rupture with Netanyahu and his calculation that flexibility may prove more effective than confrontation in building a coalition capable of removing the prime minister from office.
