Opposition figure Yair Golan accused MK Avigdor Lieberman of serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's incitement campaign, according to reports.
Opposition figure Yair Golan on Tuesday accused MK Avigdor Lieberman of serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's incitement campaign, in the latest escalation of a verbal exchange that unfolded earlier today. Golan's statement, reported around 12:51 Jerusalem, came after Lieberman had claimed that Golan "actually works in the Likud propaganda department."
The exchange began earlier Tuesday at 11:23 Jerusalem, when Lieberman called on Golan to "just shut up," according to a report by Amit Segal (N12). Within minutes, Golan retorted, telling Lieberman to "stop playing Urich." Lieberman then responded, per a Ynet report, alleging that Golan "actually works in the Likud propaganda department." The sourcing evolved from a single initial report to multiple media outlets covering the back-and-forth.
The confrontation occurs against a backdrop of broader political tensions. As The Zioneer reported on July 29, Golan had previously accused Netanyahu of inciting vandalism at Channel 12, linking the prime minister's rhetoric to operational orders. The current exchange with Lieberman mirrors that pattern of accusations over incitement.
It remains unclear whether either politician will continue the exchange. The claims made by both sides are unverified and remain part of the ongoing political discourse.
