Avigdor Lieberman, a prominent opposition figure, has revealed a plan by the "Anyone but Bibi" bloc to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power following the upcoming elections. The strategy involves swiftly passing the "Accused Law," which would disqualify Netanyahu from running, and then dissolving the Knesset to hold new elections. Lieberman stated that if the bloc cannot win at the ballot box, they intend to change the rules through legislation.
According to the plan, immediately after the elections, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana would be removed from his post. Lieberman and his allies would then take control of the Knesset to pass the "Accused Law." The ultimate goal is to force Netanyahu out, dissolve the parliament, and call for repeat elections where Netanyahu would be barred from competing.
Lieberman argued that this move is necessary because the right-wing public does not support their political messages, and they have no chance of forming a government in a fair election. He asserted that this plan effectively invalidates the votes of millions of Israelis who support Netanyahu and the Likud party, stating, "Your vote is worth zero. We will decide for you who is worthy of leading."
Critics condemn the plan as dictatorial and a desperate attempt by a frustrated group unable to accept the voters' decision. They accuse Lieberman of attempting to break the democratic rules of the game and potentially drag the country into another exhausting and divisive election cycle during wartime, solely to satisfy personal obsessions. The opposition vows that the right-wing public will not allow this maneuver, promising a strong response at the ballot box.
