Avigdor Lieberman Rejects Yair Golan's Claims on West Bank Evacuations

Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, dismissed statements made by Yair Golan, leader of the Democratic Union, regarding potential evacuations of West Bank outposts. Golan had suggested he would agree to evacuate unauthorized farms and settlements in Judea and Samaria after the elections. Lieberman retorted sharply, saying Golan "lacks coordination between his head and mouth" and sarcastically advised him to "sign up for a storytelling festival."

Lieberman emphasized that the next government would prioritize confronting external threats such as Iran, the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah, focusing on shared consensus issues rather than divisive topics like settlement evacuations.

Golan, in a podcast interview with Nadav Perry, outlined his vision of a two-state solution and stressed the importance of halting annexation, combating both Palestinian and Jewish terrorism, and removing illegal outposts and farms. He claimed that most parties opposing Netanyahu align with this approach and expressed willingness to cooperate with figures like Naftali Bennett, Gadi Eisenkot, and Lieberman on these matters.
