In an interview with Kan B' radio on Monday morning, Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman addressed speculation about coordination between himself and opposition leader Naftali Bennett regarding the prime minister role after the next election. Liberman denied the claim, stating that there will be no alliances within the opposition against each other. 'We are mature people, there will be no dramas here,' he said, according to N12's Amit Segal. 'We know how to make decisions with discretion and responsibility. Therefore, the day after the election, we know how to get along with each other.' Liberman emphasized that the primary goal is to replace the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he described as leading a 'coalition of draft dodgers' together with Haredi leaders Goldknopf and Aryeh Deri. Liberman also accused the camp of National Unity party leader Gadi Eisenkot of leaking information, without providing further details. The remarks come as the opposition continues to navigate internal dynamics ahead of the next election, with Liberman positioning himself as a key figure in the bloc.
