In an attempt to present the hypocrisy of elected officials regarding their response to the disaster, the chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu issued a statement that was taken out of context - and caused him to publish a clarification

The statement, the storm - and the clarification: The chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, Avigdor Lieberman, said today (Thursday) that "in the last day we have witnessed a split in the number of elected officials and political activists." .

"When the Prime Minister instructs the head of the National Security Council to offer the Lebanese government immediate assistance, including the transfer of the wounded to hospitals in Israel, this is a welcome and humanitarian step.

Apparently the same politicians and people on behalf of them forgot the Lebanese citizens, SLA fighters, who fought side by side with IDF soldiers. The citizens of Lebanon are not the enemy. The Hezbollah organization that took over the country - yes. "

Lieberman's remarks have been interpreted as allegedly attacking Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai, calling his act "treason." Lieberman was quick to publish a clarification through his spokesman, who said that "the emphasis in the message is on splitting personality. Not on betrayal" and in fact his words were taken out of context.
