Former Israeli Security Minister and Knesset member Avigdor Lieberman discussed recent developments on multiple fronts in an interview with Israeli Channel 12.
He criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the situation, noting, "Rockets from Gaza, Yemen, and Lebanon in one day."
Lieberman referred to Netanyahu as the "Prime Minister of October 7," holding him accountable for the failures and asserting that, given the current developments, Netanyahu "poses a threat to Israel's security."

In response to Israeli reports of rockets being fired from Lebanon toward the Metula settlement in the Upper al-Jalil, Metula Council Chairman David Azoulay strongly criticized the Israeli army and government, rejecting what he termed the "normalization of intermittent shelling."
Azoulay stated, "We will not return to the reality of October 6. I remind everyone that we endured 23 years of intermittent bombardment, and this is what the Israeli army, the Northern Command, and the Israeli government are attempting to normalize. We will not allow this to happen."
He accused Netanyahu and Northern Command Commander Uri Gordin of negligence, stating, "Instead of focusing on trivial matters, they should start ensuring security."
On a related note, the Yemeni Armed Forces' (YAF) spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said that the YAF's Rocket Force launched a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile at the Israeli Ben Gurion Airport on Friday.
As a result, sirens blared in almost two dozen major Israeli-occupied cities, including multiple city settlements in Tel Aviv and occupied al-Quds and Beit Shemesh.
Saree emphasized that Ben Gurion Airport is no longer safe for air traffic, warning that it will remain a target until the Israeli war on Gaza ends.
