Israeli MP Avigdor Liberman has cautioned of an imminent threat from Iran, akin to a Holocaust within the next two years.
Speaking to Army Radio, Liberman asserted, "We are in the midst of an Iranian extermination program," expressing concerns over Iran's purported intention to unleash a barrage of missiles aimed at Israel.
Highlighting Iran's April 13 missile attack, Liberman emphasized the potential for a larger-scale assault in the future, suggesting that Israel could face simultaneous attacks from multiple fronts.
“Israel will be attacked with the aim of destroying it from several fronts with tens of thousands of missiles at the same time. They are planning a holocaust for us in the next two years,” he said.
In April, Iran launched approximately 350 missiles and drones towards Israel, most of which were intercepted.
A vocal critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies, opposition MP Liberman has advocated for more assertive military actions, including measures to contain Iran's biggest military proxy, Hezbollah, in southern Lebanon.
The terror group is currently bombarding Israel daily with drone and missile attacks in the worst violence since the second Lebanon war with Israel's war cabinet now debating how to respond. Since October 7, over 3,000 projectiles have been fired towards Israel.
Amid the war in Gaza, sparked by Iran-backed Hamas's invasion of Israel on October 7, Iran's proxies have since attacked the Jewish state from Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and Syria.
