Against the background of the progress of the war, the question arises of how, if at all, the contacts between Israel and Hamas will lead to a hostage deal, and whether an election will be held during the fighting in the many sectors.
Chairman of Israel Beitenu and former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman spoke on 103FM about the issue and also called for the establishment of a security strip on the Lebanese
border .
The fence is close and the meaning is that you have given up the Galilee, as it is now," he claimed.
"I don't know of a plan being presented to Blinken, the first demand must be demobilization." He added. "All the stories, all the diplomatic explanations that are supposedly being talked about in the north - it's all made up.
The whole attempt to achieve peace at any cost, peace and not security, and on the issue of Hezbollah there is a tactical challenge and there is a strategic challenge.
To end a story in the north without disarming Hezbollah of any precise weapon, we have done nothing.
If the IDF finds itself between Litani and Israel, all the arrangements are one big fiction."
"We see that all the anti-tank fire, which is the most painful thing and hurts us, is effective for 10 km, and also to prevent them you have to expand them. Until Lebanon has a government that is able to exercise its sovereignty over all its territory there is nothing to be done, Or you abandon your citizens, abandon the Galilee and right now they are completely abandoned. There is not a day that there is no shooting. Therefore, there is no other way."

Regarding the kidnapping deal, he said: "I haven't seen the proposal, let's let the professional parties do the work."
On the possibility of an election system, he said: "As long as Gantz and Inzakot are part of the coalition, there is no point. Netanyahu is motivated solely by political considerations. Unfortunately, at the moment both Gantz and Inzakot are being used as a fig leaf, they are giving him a safety net. I don't understand what Gantz is doing. Like Gantz presented it, it's hard for me to understand what he's doing there."
"As far as I'm concerned, it's a joke that we opened Kerem Shalom," admitted the minister.
"We don't have any leverage."
