Netanyahu's former NSC head Hanegbi announces he will vote for Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu
"In the upcoming election, I will vote for Avigdor Liberman," Hanegbi wrote, describing the decision as a historic personal departure from his political past.
Former National Security Council head and Likud politician Tzachi Hanegbi has announced that he will vote for Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman in the upcoming October 27 election. Hanegbi's decision comes after growing disagreements with elements of the Israeli Right, including exemptions from military service for the ultra-Orthodox, attitudes toward the judiciary, and the conduct of political leaders.
He emphasized that while he remains committed to right-wing ideology, he is no longer aligned with contemporary right-wing parties that tolerate nationalist crime and undermine law enforcement institutions.
