Avigdor Lieberman Says Likud Can Join Coalition Only Without Netanyahu

Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, stated at the start of a faction meeting that the Likud party is a legitimate political entity that could potentially be a coalition partner. However, he emphasized that Benjamin Netanyahu cannot be part of the government due to his responsibility for the events of October 7. Lieberman expressed the need to form a Zionist and national government, criticizing the current administration as sectarian because Netanyahu prioritizes maintaining his position.
