On video: Lieberman at the launch of the party's campaign rejects any meeting with Netanyahu (Walla system!)

The chairman of the Israel Beitenu party, Avigdor Lieberman, accused Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu this evening (Thursday) of trying to steal votes from his party by establishing a party that would appeal to the Russian public.

In a tweet on Twitter, the Minister of Finance wrote that the phenomenon repeats every election.

"The rumor says that the person responsible for the same phenomenon is Benjamin Netanyahu," Lieberman wrote.

"But it could be just a rumor."

"Always somehow just before an election, a list is created whose entire purpose is to appeal to the Russian-speaking audience, and to bite even a little bit at the Israeli voters at home," Lieberman continued.

"And all this is happening while Netanyahu's trumpets are starting to blow at the same time that Yisrael Beitenu will not pass the blocking percentage."

The chairman of Yisrael Beitenu also claimed that the person responsible for establishing the new party is the owner of Channel 14, Yitzhak Mirilashvili, but emphasized that this is a rumor. According to him, "This time, too, there is a 'malicious rumor' circulating among the speakers of the Russian language, according to which this time the task was assigned to the Mirilashvili family.

According to the same rumors, Mirilashvili has already managed to contact a number of Russian speakers, who have political ambitions, and also to buy whole farms of bots around the world.

Although these are only rumors, and I have no proof of this, therefore I hope that all those 'malicious rumors' will remain as rumors."

This week Lieberman launched the election campaign of Israel Beitenu. "I am sure that the Change Bloc will continue to lead the State of Israel and form the next government." , he said, predicting that the party will win eight mandates in the upcoming elections. "We want to move the parties' debate from the personal to the ideological level," he clarified.

"When we went to the elections, we pledged that we would form a government without the ultra-orthodox and without Netanyahu and take the treasury portfolio - we met the three goals. I want to make it clear what we are fighting for in these elections - governmental stability, personal security, strengthening the economy and reducing disparities."

"When I say governmental stability, I mean to propose the Speaker of the Knesset law which says that the Speaker of the Knesset cannot be removed without 90 votes," he explained.

"We politicians have failed, we are dragging Israel into a fifth election in three years. The bill will allow those who formed a government to survive for at least two years because in order to overthrow the government, a majority of 90 MKs will have to replace the speaker of the Knesset."

Lieberman made it clear that there is no chance that Israel Beytinu will sit under Netanyahu.

"Furthermore," he added, "even if there is an option to form a government in one way or another and Netanyahu wants to be Minister of Absorption - we will not sit with him."

According to Lieberman, "Since 1996, there has never been a government that managed to do so much in one year. At the same time, there were things we did not accomplish, such as in the housing program. Even before Naftali Bennett resigned, I prepared a state budget. The budget is not numbers, but a work plan with order Priorities are clear. I defined that the first thing is personal security and the return of governance. The intention is to recruit 3000 police officers without increasing the strength of the Israel Police.

All talk of governance is idle talk.

Recruiting the police officers in the first year will cost 700 million shekels and then 400 million shekels per year."
