Revava Shvut, founder of the Forum of Reserve Soldiers' Wives, expressed deep disappointment with her vote for Avigdor Lieberman, stating it was a "delusion." Speaking on the radio program 'Galei Yisrael' on Tuesday, she criticized Lieberman's political maneuvering, particularly his focus on issues that allegedly caused chaos since 2019. Shvut lamented that after elections were held ostensibly to address these core issues, politicians were willing to compromise on their stated values, calling it "unforgivable" and hoping Lieberman would pay a heavy political price.
Host Sharon Gal suggested Shvut had fallen for an "Only Not Bibi" campaign, arguing that such campaigns used representatives of the "value-based right" to create chaos and oust Benjamin Netanyahu. Shvut responded that while the desire to replace Netanyahu is legitimate, it becomes "pathetic" when the results lead to abandoning values and compromising on the goals for which elections were held. She argued that those who prioritize replacing a leader over national interests and repeat the same mistakes they criticized are making a grave political, ethical, and leadership error.
Shvut believes that compromising on values to achieve a political goal, especially when it results in the same failures previously criticized, is a significant mistake. She hopes that Lieberman will face substantial political consequences for his actions.
