Two Right-Wing Politicians Who Broke With Netanyahu Could Try to Unseat Him
Naftali Bennett, a former Israeli prime minister, and Avigdor Liberman, a former defense minister, are both right-wingers who have split from Benjamin Netanyahu. The New York Times says their political paths show how polarized Israel has become under him.
Two right-wing Israeli politicians who have broken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could try to remove him from power. They are Naftali Bennett, a former prime minister, and Avigdor Liberman, a former defense minister. The New York Times reported on the matter on October 27 in a piece about Israel's coming election.
The newspaper presents the political evolution of the two men as an indication of how Netanyahu has polarized Israeli society and politics. Both Bennett and Liberman come from the right of the political spectrum, yet both have chosen to part ways with him.
The publicly available introduction to the article gives no details on their plans, party lineups or the election date, so this report is limited to the general assessment of the two politicians' role in a possible challenge to Netanyahu.
