Lieberman did not know, he did not know

On Saturday night, Avigdor Lieberman told Rina a successful "Meet the Press" (News 12) that the head of the Mossad was sent to Qatar to expedite the Qatari money grants to Hamas in Gaza. It was allegedly a gross violation of the military censorship law, and Lieberman's "party" was quick to issue a press release, explaining that the former defense minister simply did not know that things were not banned.

Anyone who wants to believe that Lieberman did not know, probably also believed in the second headline he provided in the same interview, according to which Prime Minister Netanyahu does not intend to win the election. He only ran to "improve his legal situation" and is currently trying to sign a plea deal with the prosecutor's office. Does the political need to buy even a tenth of this story?

The run for elections does not improve or improve the legal situation of the prime minister in any way. If anything, just the opposite. Netanyahu's "legal blame" is his political success, and if he had chosen to resign, his legal fate would have been cut quickly and not. Even the blue-and-white heads, the big corruption fighters, and even Lieberman himself, all supported the "pardon for retirement" initiative. Clearly, therefore, retirement would have strengthened Netanyahu's legal position, if it did not immediately evaporate the peculiar criminal cases against him.

So how does Rina succeed in nodding at these vanities? Because Lieberman is allowed to say everything. If the situation in Israeli politics and media today is of no value to anyone, then whoever is responsible for this situation is Avigdor Lieberman.
The man who made sure to never speak his word under the ironic slogan "word is word". The man who has never promoted a single act of action for any subject identified with him; No alliance, no punishment for terrorists, no fight against Arab crime, no cracking of dams and no elimination of Ismail Haniyeh. is nothing. Bennett is in the Ministry of Defense for five minutes and has already done ten things that can be named. What did Lieberman do?

Success has not interrupted as nervously as Levant or Netanyahu would, because Lieberman is an agent of chaos, and that's how the media loves him at the moment. He is allowed to go over the censorship and he is able to come up with some unfounded theory he wants and is allowed to decide at one moment, after long years of close cooperation with the ultra-Orthodox, that he is actually promoting a secular agenda (which he has never practiced in a practical way). He is allowed to drag the entire country into political chaos, just because he's tired of it. What does this man really want? No one knows. In the meanwhile he seemed to simply enjoy the mess he created.
