The Chairman of Israel Beitenu, former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, today (Monday) sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the members of the Political and Security Cabinet, in which he strongly attacks the Cabinet's decisions in response to the terrorist wave at the weekend and claims that this is a "publicity move" that is being avoided From "real price collection from the terrorist organizations and the Palestinian Authority who bear responsibility for the wave of terrorism and incitement that has been taking place in recent times".
Lieberman, who is trying to flank the government from the right, writes in the letter that the answer to the attacks should be "clear" and lists a series of controversial measures, some of which cause tensions in Netanyahu's coalition with ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gabir - such as the evacuation of Khan al-Ahmar, the demolition of Palestinian homes In the southern area of Mount Hebron, building permits for Jews in East Jerusalem and the application of Israeli sovereignty in the Jordan Valley.
"Unfortunately, at the moment, instead of giving a real answer to the threats of terrorism and incitement, the Deri-Netanyahu government is only concerned with itself and promoting the personal interests of the Prime Minister and the chairman of Shas," he wrote at the end of his letter.
"Surrender to terror".

Under the title "A real price to pay against the wave of terrorism and incitement on the part of the terrorist organizations and the Palestinian Authority", Lieberman details in the letter the conduct of the Palestinian Authority - its avoidance of countering terrorism in Jenin and Nablus, the condemnations of the activities of the Israeli security forces, and the incitement in the official media and from official Palestinian officials.
According to him;
The "mother of all sins" is the fact that the government did not respond to the Palestinian resolution at the United Nations that authorized the International Court of Justice in The Hague to examine the activities of the State of Israel.
In the letter, Lieberman also attacks the policy of "surrendering to the terrorism of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which continues even more vigorously these days.
Agreeing to the rules of the game in which Hamas is allowed to welcome, encourage and initiate terrorist acts that lead to the murder of Jews in Jerusalem and Yosh in exchange for peace in the Gaza Strip is an unacceptable policy."

According to him, the regulation policy that allows the transfer of funds from Qatar to the Gaza Strip "strengthens the position of Hamas among the Gazan public, along with Israel's approval for the transfer of fuel to the Gaza Strip, when Hamas collects taxes and finances its people with the aforementioned funds, it further sharpens the government's policy which is a policy that encourages terrorism.
The current agreement will expire in April, and instead of stopping with this shameful surrender, Netanyahu is begging the Qataris to continue transferring the funds to Hamas." It should be noted that Lieberman was also a cabinet member in the Bennett-Lapid government, which continued Netanyahu's policy of transferring funds to the Gaza Strip.
According to Lieberman, "the answer to all those provocations on the part of the Palestinian Authority and the abominable attacks that we have witnessed in recent days must be clear," and details a series of measures against the Palestinians and to strengthen the settlements such as the evacuation of Khan al-Ahmar, in the background of the government's soon expected answer to the High Court regarding the continuation Postponing the evacuation (It should be noted that the Bent-Lapid government, in which Lieberman was a member, also sought to postpone the evacuation of the illegal Bedouin settlement east of Jerusalem).
