Former defence minister Avigdor Lieberman has urged the attorney general to open a treason investigation into Benjamin Netanyahu. Lieberman claims the prime minister was willing to 'sacrifice' IDF soldiers solely because he fears losing the vote. A TV report described a confrontation with army chief Eyal Zamir, who reportedly demanded signed legal authorisation before any operation. Netanyahu insists: 'It's all nonsense.'

Trump has endorsed Netanyahu as a 'great warrior' ahead of his clash with ex-army chief Gadi Eisenkot.
