MK Avigdor Lieberman calls to cease negotiations with Netanyahu‘s gov‘t

Member of the opposition Avigdor Lieberman spoke at a demonstration in Be‘er Sheva and called on opposition leaders Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid to „immediately“ cease negotiations with the Netanyahu government.

„Any compromise is a self-goal for the opposition and a reinforcement of Netanyahu‘s messianic government. The continuation of these meetings is tantamount to legitimizing the people who crushed the country within three months and continue to crush it even more intensely every day,“ Lieberman said.

Science is built on the foundation of academic freedom, which cannot be separated from democratic and cultural freedom. You can’t be a truth-teller in science and a truth-bender in your daily life.”

The goal is to preserve our familiar, beloved and democratic Israel. We will argue later about construction in the [West Bank], which the fully right-wing government had agreed to freeze for the time being.“
