Liberman Warns Netanyahu May Try to Disrupt the Election

Aviigdor Liberman gave an unusually personal interview to Channel 13, in which he said he fears Benjamin Netanyahu will try to interfere with the coming election. The interview aired on Friday, and came 30 years after Liberman was appointed director general of the Prime Minister's Office under Netanyahu, a period he said bears little resemblance to their relationship today.

The reporters met Liberman this week at his home in the Nokdim settlement, where he was seen wearing sports shoes. The segment also included a conversation with his wife about the experience of living as a religious woman married to a secular man. The interview was framed as both political and personal, reflecting Liberman's current role in the struggle for leadership within the wider political bloc.

Alongside his warning about possible efforts to derail the vote, Liberman discussed the leadership battles inside the camp and the red line he says he sets for political partners. The article did not spell out the details of that line, but presented him as positioning himself as a key figure ahead of the 2026 election.
