Lieberman: “Netanyahu should be thrown into the trash”
The remarks of Israel Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Lieberman, during a speech on a radio station, sparked controversy in religious circles and members of the Likud party, to which Benjamin Netanyahu belongs, and was described as shameful.
“Netanyahu and extremist religious politicians should be thrown in the trash of history,” Lieberman said, Israel News 24 reported.
Lieberman was widely criticized for saying “Netanyahu and the Orthodox Jews should be put in carts and thrown in the trash,” while several figures in the right-wing religious camp called them “anti-Semitic.” They knew and demanded legal action against Lieberman.
In response to Lieberman’s remarks, the leader of the United Torah Judaism Party, Moshe Gaffney, said that “Lieberman’s despair and hatred of Netanyahu lead him to make such remarks.”
Housing Minister Yakov Litzmann, in turn, described Lieberman’s remarks as provocative, dangerous and pathetic, and called on the government’s legal adviser to investigate “shameful statements against the law and election procedures.”
He pointed to some members of the Knesset and said the law should be amended to prevent and punish those who make provocative statements against ultra-Orthodox Jews.
In this regard, the former Israeli Minister of Security refused to apologize and once again criticized the “religious sanctuaries” for their “hypocrisy”, saying: “No one harms the sanctuary more than the leaders of the Shas and UTJ parties. “
