Avigdor Lieberman, the chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, is facing a new wave of death threats. Following a series of threatening messages, an additional complaint was filed with the Knesset's officer of security. This latest complaint joins numerous others submitted in recent months due to threats directed at Lieberman.

Some of the messages contained explicit threats, including "Until you get a bullet in your head you won't shut your mouth, you Nazi scumbag who hates Judaism." Other messages stated, "To the gallows today," "The end of your life, you son of a dog thief," along with severe curses and calls for the death of the Yisrael Beiteinu chairman.

In response to the threats, a statement was issued on behalf of Lieberman, saying, "We must not wait for words to turn into deeds. We demand immediate and decisive action against the threats and full prosecution of those making them." The statement also clarified that the threats would not deter him from continuing his public activities, asserting, "No threat will silence Lieberman or deter us. We will continue to speak the truth and act for Israel's security and conscription for all."
