MK Avigdor Lieberman said Monday that if the reported U.S.-Iran agreement had been signed during the previous 'change government,' Prime Minister Netanyahu would accuse its members of treason. His remarks, reported by Israel Hayom, come amid ongoing political debate over the emerging deal.
MK Avigdor Lieberman (Yisrael Beiteinu) weighed into the domestic political firestorm over the reported U.S.-Iran agreement, arguing that the deal's content — not who signed it — is the real issue. Speaking on Monday, Lieberman said: 'If the same deal between the U.S. and Iran had been signed during the change government, Benjamin Netanyahu would accuse us all of treason.' The remark, reported by Israel Hayom, targets the prime minister's shifting posture: Netanyahu has criticized the emerging framework as a dangerous capitulation. Lieberman's comment underscores the charged partisan context surrounding the issue. As The Zioneer reported Sunday, analyst Yaakov Bardugo had also castigated the deal as a stain on Trump's legacy, and opposition leader Naftali Bennett called it 'a dangerous turning point' that drags Israel into wars of attrition. Lieberman's statement adds a direct political accusation to the debate, framing the deal as a test of consistency rather than merely policy.
