Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beitenu party, attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, accusing him of intentionally pushing the country toward military confrontation ahead of scheduled elections for political purposes, the Ma'an news agency reported.
Lieberman's criticism reflects deepening tensions within Israel's political establishment over Netanyahu's handling of security matters and electoral timing. The accusation suggests a widening rift between coalition partners as the election date approaches.
