️ Liberman defends compromise and maintains his conscription position: In a statement on X, Liberman wrote: Willingness to compromise does not mean abandoning values and principles.
Over the past few days, I have been witnessing a parade of absurdity from a host of commentators, partisan journalists, bots, and people with preconceived notions, sometimes accompanied by a distinctly racist undertone.
No matter what I say, what I do, or what the truth is, they are always busy attributing malicious motives to me and inventing conspiracy theories.
Those who attack me for attempting to reach understandings with the ultra-Orthodox parties are the same people who would prefer to establish a government that relies on Ra’am and the Joint List—parties in which some Knesset members openly identify with Hamas, describe it as a charitable organization, and accuse the State of Israel of genocide and crimes against humanity.
I want to make this absolutely clear: That will not happen. I will not support the formation of such a government, which, in my view, would undermine Israel’s security and ultimately bring Netanyahu back to power.
Given the current political reality, in order to prevent another round of elections and bring an end to the Netanyahu era, there is no alternative but to make difficult decisions and reach compromises on issues where flexibility and mutual understanding are possible.
Reaching an understanding does not mean abandoning principles, and engaging in dialogue does not mean erasing red lines.
I still believe that the correct model is a law requiring military service for everyone. However, in light of the election results, we must examine possibilities for reaching agreements, including those based on frameworks developed in the past.
In 2018, I introduced a military conscription bill drafted by the IDF and the defense establishment. Subsequently, the Shkedi Report was published, and the current coalition developed its own proposed legislation.
I fully recognize that, following the events of October 7, even the legislation I proposed in 2018 requires changes and adjustments. Nevertheless, it remains a reasonable foundation for reaching agreements.
I have not abandoned the principle of military conscription, nor my commitment to expanding benefits and improving conditions for reservists and career military personnel.
I would remind everyone that during my tenure as Minister of Finance, I increased the salaries of soldiers performing mandatory military service by 50%. I subsequently incorporated the “Mimadim LaLimudim” (“Uniform to University”) program into the state budget.
I am not driven by personal ambition to become prime minister at any cost. I have always emphasized that, as far as I am concerned, becoming prime minister is an option, not an obsession.
Since 2019, I have received countless tempting offers from the other side. I am not engaged in political maneuvering, nor am I trying to undermine anyone.
I act, and will continue to act, out of one commitment alone: the well-being of the State of Israel and the people of Israel.
That is what has guided me throughout my political career, and that alone; will guide every decision I make.
