Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has called on Gali Baharav-Miara, the Legal Advisor to the Israeli Government, to open a criminal investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Lieberman alleges that Netanyahu has been attempting to pressure security establishment leaders into taking actions that could lead to miscalculations in dealing with Iran.

In a letter addressed to the Legal Advisor, Lieberman accused Netanyahu of "betraying the state, its security, and the soldiers of the Israeli army." He stated that over the past month, the Prime Minister has exerted pressure on security officials to adopt measures that might result in erroneous assessments regarding Iran.

Lieberman further asserted that Netanyahu's alleged attempt to drag Israel into a war on the eve of elections, coupled with a willingness to sacrifice IDF soldiers out of fear of electoral defeat, constitutes "betrayal."
