Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman has asked Israel's Attorney-General to investigate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for treason. Liberman fears Netanyahu is trying to provoke a military conflict to delay the upcoming October 27 election. The call follows a report of a dispute between Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir over a potential operation that could involve Iran. Liberman's request does not mean an investigation has been opened.
