Liberman's West Bank Control Comments Spark Netanyahu 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 and subsequent clarification have ignited political debate.
Liberman's original comments, made to the newspaper "Besh'eva," suggested Jordanian security oversight in specific West Bank areas. The subsequent clarification expanded on this, proposing a broader confederation model involving Jordanian management of Palestinian population centers.
