Veteran journalist and broadcaster Rino Tzror has issued a sharp critique of Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, warning that the "change bloc" is fracturing. Tzror stated that Lieberman's independent negotiations with the ultra-Orthodox parties are undermining the bloc's unity and jeopardizing its primary goal of forming a government. He highlighted the bloc's election promises to voters, including resolving internal issues quickly after the election, and accused Lieberman of breaking faith by pursuing separate talks with the ultra-Orthodox factions.
Tzror emphasized that the mandate to form a government rests with Gadi Eisenkot, and that such internal divisions make achieving the overarching objective of the prime ministership significantly more difficult. The commentary comes just before the Knesset's swearing-in ceremony and the appointment of a new speaker, a critical juncture for the political landscape. Tzror expressed concern that Lieberman's actions, particularly his direct engagement with the ultra-Orthodox parties, signal a deviation from the bloc's commitments and a potential collapse of their united front.
