Liberman's West Bank Control Comments Spark Netanyahu's Attack
Former Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman stated on Wednesday that Jordan should have security control over Areas B and C in the West Bank. This remark immediately drew criticism from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc, with Netanyahu himself reportedly calling Liberman "left-wing."
Liberman later issued a clarification, proposing an agreement with Jordan for them to manage Areas A and B, suggesting an "Israeli-Jordanian confederation."
The initial statement by Liberman, made to the newspaper "Besh'eva," suggested Jordanian security control over specific West Bank areas. The subsequent clarification aimed to reframe his proposal as a confederation model involving Jordanian management of certain territories.
