Liberman Warns Against Security Decisions by Transitional Government

In depth

Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman warned against making dramatic security decisions during the term of a transitional government. According to him, the government may not make decisions that could drag Israel into war without parliamentary oversight and without the full agreement of all security officials.

The warning follows Gadi Eisenkot's appeal to Netanyahu to refrain from dangerous security steps during the transitional period. Liberman joined Eisenkot's claims, and while Katz responded to Eisenkot that approval from the opposition is not necessary, the confrontation between them is intensifying.

Netanyahu and Eisenkot announced in a joint statement that they will meet today for a security briefing, after it became known that Eisenkot had been scheduled to meet the military secretary alone.
