Lieberman Warns of US Sanctions, Palestinian State Recognition

Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Yisrael Beiteinu, warned that the next U.S. administration might recognize a Palestinian state and impose sanctions on Israel, potentially crippling its high-tech sector and leading to an arms embargo. He attributed this risk to the current Israeli government's policies and the decline in Israel's international standing since October 7th. Lieberman vowed to change the government on October 27th and establish a joint headquarters to combat antisemitism and restore international support.
