Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party and former Defense Minister, announced on Sunday that he will petition the Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, to open a criminal investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Lieberman accuses the Prime Minister of treason, alleging he is attempting to drag Israel into a war with Iran for political gain ahead of elections.
The demand follows a report from Channel 12 News detailing an unusual confrontation between Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir concerning a potential military move against Iran. According to the report, Zamir insisted on a thorough discussion and legally signed authorizations before proceeding with any directive.
In an interview with 103FM radio, Lieberman described the relationship between the political and military echelons as an unprecedented crisis, stating it has never been so strained. He asserted that Netanyahu's alleged desire to escalate tensions with Iran, especially before an election, constitutes treason against the state, its security, and IDF soldiers.
"Netanyahu is definitely betraying the country when he wants to drag us into war," Lieberman stated, emphasizing that this attempt to involve Israel in a conflict on the eve of elections, potentially sacrificing soldiers due to fear of electoral defeat, is an act of treason. He reiterated his intention to file the formal request with the Attorney General on the same day.
