Sharp attack by Liberman against Netanyahu
During an interview he gave today (June 22, 2026) to the Galei Tzahal radio station, Member of Knesset Avigdor Liberman launched an unprecedented attack against the policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to a report on the Political Updates channel, Liberman called Netanyahu "Trump's punching bag," while criticizing the way the current military campaign is being conducted.
According to Liberman, as also published in News in Real Time on Telegram - the largest news group in Israel, the current government is "sacrificing soldiers and tying their hands and feet." Liberman's criticism, known for his hawkish and oppositional positions, reflects the growing tension between the opposition and the government regarding the management of the fighting and the international influences on Israel.
The two reporting channels, which serve as central platforms for distributing political and news updates in real-time on Telegram, presented the Member of Knesset's words as direct criticism of Netanyahu's political and security strategy. The statements join the turbulent public discourse regarding the price of the fighting and the political consequences vis-à-vis the American administration.
