The elimination of the Niyya, the debate with Netanyahu and the investigations: Avigdor Lieberman in an interview with Ronnie Cuban/Kaan 11
"To go crazy is simply to attack in a powerful way, really in the highest profile, in a short period of time, and let them understand that we know how to exact a price. After all, even today we are going out as a bunch of flappers, a paper tiger," replied the chairman of Israel Beitenu, MK Avigdor Lieberman in an interview For the "meeting with Ronnie Cuban" here 11 to the question of Cuban who reminded him of his statement in 2010 according to which "Israel should be the thug in the neighborhood and should bring order in the Middle East", and what he meant.
Referring to the war of iron swords and the destruction that the IDF inflicted on Gaza following the events of October 7, Lieberman answered in light of Cuban's question that the destruction we created there is not called crazy? "What is half of Gaza? You have eroded the Israeli deterrence to zero."
In the interview, Cuban made sure to remind Lieberman of his time as defense minister, and his statements before accepting the position that if he were to accept the position, he would eliminate Israel within 48 hours, and whether the reason he did not fulfill his promise was because of Netanyahu. In response, he replied: "I I think not only Netanyahu. The entire general staff was also in this, defeatist attitude. There were enough opportunities. Every time Netanyahu prevented it, with one excuse or another."

When asked what Netanyahu told him in response to his demand to eliminate the head of Hamas' political bureau, he replied, "When I saw that he started talking about Iran and took you aside, 'I have to tell you what they are preparing,' then I know it is an attempt to smear." Was there a moment when you knocked on the table in front of Netanyahu? "Several times". Describe to me, "After Hamas fired, I gave an order not to bring fuel into the Strip. Then Netanyahu called and there were shouts. I said: If you want the fuel to enter, give me a written directive. He issued a written directive to bring fuel into the Strip."
Why did he do that? Lieberman replied that the prime minister's considerations were purely political. "I saw it in full force during a cabinet meeting during Operation Tzuk Eitan. One evening in Kira, a surprise announcement is made about a break that falls exactly at the time of the news broadcast." According to him, we went around the rooms and then we saw the horror document in the edition that if we enter Gaza there will be such and such deaths and victims, and Netanyahu explained: You understand that this is a price that the public cannot afford. He was only troubled by how it would be received by the public and what the impact would be on public opinion," he repeated.

"I don't hang out with oligarch friends, I hang out with friends. I don't count what they have, they are friends first and foremost," this is how the chairman of Israel Beitenu responded to a question that ties him to dubious factors, "Is one moment being part of the decision-makers in the country, and the next After hanging out with oligarch friends. Isn't that a recipe for corruption?"
Lieberman replied to Cuban's statement that friends are measured in times of need, "They don't help, they remain friends. Even when you are under investigation, they are not afraid. They come to your house and invite you." In the eyes of many, a cloud of corruption still hangs over you, the member of the Knesset from Israel Beitenu replied that "There is no doubt that some people still live the stigmas - a representative of the mafia, a spy, whatever you want."
To this day, you are reminded of how your daughter , when she was a young history student, 21 years old, and was listed as the owner of a business consulting company, "M.L. 1", to which 7 million shekels were ordered from abroad within 3 years. The company paid her high salaries, but so did you, even though you were a minister.
"Let's sort things out. I was the Minister of Transportation, and Eric Sharon fired me because of the disengagement. Suddenly you are fired overnight and you have to do something. It was clear to me that I would return to political life, but in the meantime I needed to make a living. I told my daughter: Let's register the company, I will be the engine , I will work, and you will help with what is needed."

Why register the company in her name? "So that the company can continue, after I return to politics. For two and a half years, all she earned was 16 thousand shekels, that's all the salary she received." So who did seven million shekels go to after you returned to politics? "There was a secretary, a driver, an accountant, a lawyer and travel tickets. All of this together - a lot of expenses. Any reasonable investigator would go to the Registrar of Companies, take out documents and see."
To the question of whether he is a rich man, Lieberman replied, "I think I am an organized person. I live in one house in Nokde, which the appraiser estimated its value at three million shekels. I have no other houses and apartments, neither in Israel nor abroad."
