Opposition MK Avigdor Lieberman called on IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi to confront Prime Minister Netanyahu and demand either a decisive defeat of Hezbollah or a full withdrawal from Lebanon, according to a statement published on his channel.
Opposition MK Avigdor Lieberman (Yisrael Beiteinu) on Saturday evening issued a sharp call for the IDF Chief of Staff to directly challenge Prime Minister Netanyahu over military strategy in Lebanon. In a statement published on his official channel, Lieberman urged the chief of staff to 'turn the tables' on Netanyahu and demand either a decisive defeat of Hezbollah or a full withdrawal from Lebanon. The call comes amid ongoing US-mediated negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, which have been slow-moving according to defense officials, as The Zioneer reported on June 16. Lieberman's statement reflects growing political pressure on the government's handling of the Lebanon front, where the IDF continues operations against Hezbollah infrastructure and tunnels near the border. No official response from the Prime Minister's Office or the IDF has been reported.
