Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, warned that Israel is heading towards a future where a Haredi prime minister could be in power by 2048, predicting the country would collapse before then due to the financial burden of the Haredi population. Speaking at a conference hosted by ynet and Yediot Ahronot, Lieberman stated that by 2030, 52-53% of first graders will be either Haredi or Arab. He described this demographic trend as a "ticking clock" and argued that the current situation is unsustainable financially.

He expressed a desire for Haredi children to receive a proper education and not be the poorest segment of society.
