Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, is facing severe death threats, with his party revealing a series of violent messages sent to him. The threats, which include explicit calls for his assassination and hateful slurs, have prompted the party to file another urgent complaint with the Knesset's officer. This latest complaint joins numerous similar ones filed in recent months regarding harassment and threats against Lieberman.
The party stated that "words must not be allowed to turn into actions" and demanded "immediate and decisive action" from law enforcement to prosecute those making the threats. Yisrael Beiteinu emphasized that "no threat will silence Lieberman or deter us" and vowed to continue speaking the truth and working for Israel's security and universal conscription.
These threats come amid heightened political tension and an increasingly extreme public discourse. Lieberman had recently been critical of the government and security establishment regarding the "Flydubai incident," where an Omani pilot allegedly attempted to crash a plane. He had called the incident "another failure" and demanded accountability from the Shin Bet, also criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu for fostering a culture of shirking responsibility.
