Report: Liberman cuts off contact with bloc leaders
Liberman is not responding to calls from Bennett and Eisenkot, doubts the possibility of replacing the Knesset speaker, and prefers to wait for developments.
Assessment
Lieberman is going quiet on purpose. He is not answering calls from Benet and Eisenkot, which signals he wants to keep his options open rather than commit to any coalition move. His doubt about replacing the Knesset speaker suggests he sees that fight as a distraction or a trap. Waiting for developments means he believes the current situation will shift on its own, and he wants to be the one who decides when to move. The bloc leaders who need his support are now in a weaker position, because they cannot count on him or even get a straight answer. Watch whether he breaks his silence first, or whether events force his hand.
