Knesset Member Avigdor Lieberman has issued a stark warning, predicting the United States will recognize a Palestinian state within approximately two years. Lieberman directly challenged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserting his prediction's accuracy. He offered to waive his parliamentary immunity and allow Netanyahu to sue him in court if the Prime Minister believes he is mistaken. This public challenge comes amid ongoing debates regarding the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and potential shifts in US foreign policy. Lieberman’s statement is being interpreted as an attempt to flank Netanyahu from the right on this sensitive issue. The offer to remove immunity highlights the seriousness with which Lieberman views his forecast and his willingness to stake his position on it. This latest exchange adds another layer of complexity to the already fraught political landscape in Israel.
