[The] soldiers are plagued by nightmares, the economy is collapsing and diplomacy eroding, former Defence Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said Monday, Anadolu Agency reports.

“Nine months have passed since the deadly surprise attack by Hamas on the [apartheid] state […] and its people, and it seems as though nothing has changed within the [Zionist] leadership,” Lieberman wrote in an article published on the […] news site, Walla.

“Children and adults, soldiers and reservists are suffering from nightmares about what has happened and what might happen. The […] economy is collapsing, and [Zionist] diplomacy is eroding,” the leader of the right-wing opposition, Yisrael Beiteinu Party, added.

Referring to tensions between [apartheid] and the Lebanese group, Hezbollah, Lieberman said: “The north is desolate and scorched; Iran continues to arm itself; and while all this is happening, the corrupt government continues as if nothing has happened.”

“Negotiations for the release of hostages should take place away from the cameras, allowing the professional team led by Nitzan Alon (responsible for the missing persons file in the [IOF]) to lead the process with full support,” Lieberman said.

Meanwhile, Lieberman said that Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, will dissolve the Knesset ([a] parliament) in November.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu will dissolve the Knesset in November,” he was quoted as saying at an economic conference in Tel Aviv by [the] daily, Maariv.

“I hope we can disperse the Knesset before then. We want a broad wall-to-wall Zionist coalition, without that it is impossible to fix anything,” he added.

Despite Netanyahu’s repeated refusal to hold early elections amid the ongoing war in Gaza, the [local] opposition has been pushing for a new vote.

The current government was formed at the end of 2022 following general elections and is legally expected to remain in office for four years, unless early elections are held.

[Zionism] has killed nearly 38,700 Palestinians in Gaza since a 7 October cross-border attack by Hamas that claimed 1,200 lives and took another 250 as hostages. [Zionist] actions have triggered a humanitarian disaster and an ongoing trial over genocide at the International Court of Justice. Negotiations for a permanent ceasefire and release of captives continue but have not succeeded yet.

However, since then, it has been revealed by Haaretz that helicopters and tanks of the [IOF] had, in fact, killed many of the 1,139 soldiers and civilians claimed by [settlers] to have been killed by the Palestinian Resistance.
