Lieberman: Interim Government Cannot Initiate War Without Parliamentary Oversight
Translated & summarized from Haaretz by baba
Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman asserted that an interim government requires parliamentary oversight before making war-related decisions. The Knesset established a temporary Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee yesterday, but Lieberman's appointment as its chairman has been delayed by the coalition. This delay leaves the committee without the authority to supervise security services' actions.

Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, stated Thursday that an interim government should not be permitted to make decisions that could lead Israel into war without parliamentary oversight and the full agreement of all security elements. The Knesset approved the establishment of a temporary Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee yesterday, which Lieberman is slated to head. However, the coalition has succeeded in postponing Lieberman's official appointment as chairman until Monday, leaving the committee powerless in the interim. Without an official chairman, the committee lacks significant authority.
