Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats, sharply criticized Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, on Sunday evening. Golan's remarks came in response to a report by Channel 13 News, which stated that Lieberman is obstructing efforts to advance the cancellation of laws related to the judicial reform.
Golan stated, "If Lieberman wants a government that will not draft the ultra-Orthodox and will not cancel the coup laws, he is welcome to form a government with Netanyahu." This statement implies Golan's belief that Lieberman's current stance aligns with Netanyahu's agenda.
The Channel 13 report, attributed to political correspondent Michael Shemesh, detailed that Lieberman has conveyed a clear message to his opposition bloc partners. He has indicated he will not support or facilitate the cancellation of judicial reform laws at this time. Lieberman reportedly believes the bloc should concentrate its resources and efforts on other targeted parliamentary actions rather than engaging in battles over judicial legislation.
According to the report, Lieberman outlined his priorities for the opposition bloc, which include electing a new Knesset speaker, advancing a bill to limit prime ministerial terms, and selecting a state comptroller. His position suggests a strategic disagreement within the opposition regarding the most effective path forward in challenging the current government's legislative agenda.
