Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, stated on X (formerly Twitter) that reports of concessions on the draft law demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding by the journalists who broadcast them. He emphasized that the prerequisite for any draft law is its ability to pass the Supreme Court's (Bagatz) scrutiny. "Otherwise, there is no point in wasting even a single minute on a law that is not acceptable," Lieberman asserted.
Lieberman dismissed all television reports on the matter as untrue, characterizing them as an organized campaign aimed at damaging, slandering, and paving the way for a minority government supported by Hamas sympathizers. He predicted such a short-lived government would subsequently legitimize Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for four more years with a coalition of 70 Knesset members.
