Jonathan Yakubovich Joins Yisrael Beiteinu, Endorses Avigdor Lieberman
Attorney Jonathan Yakubovich, formerly a member of the Herzliya City Council representing the National Camp, has officially joined the Yisrael Beiteinu party and expressed strong support for its leader, Avigdor Lieberman. Yakubovich praised Lieberman as the leader Israel needs at this time, highlighting his strength, experience, clear worldview, and decisiveness. He emphasized his belief in Lieberman’s approach, which includes uncompromising security, true equality in national service, and the principle of coexistence, maintaining a Jewish state that respects tradition while allowing individual freedom without coercion.
Yakubovich’s move to Yisrael Beiteinu comes about two weeks after Lili Ben Ami also joined the party, signaling a period of expansion ahead of the 2026 elections. His public endorsement underscores the party’s positioning on security and social issues as it prepares for the upcoming electoral contest.
This development reflects Yisrael Beiteinu’s ongoing efforts to broaden its base and consolidate support around Lieberman’s leadership ahead of the 2026 elections.
