Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Lieberman sparked a political storm Wednesday after proposing that Jordan take over security and administrative responsibility for parts of Judea and Samaria. Speaking to the Besheva podcast, Lieberman said the Palestinian Authority had “gone bankrupt” and argued that Israel needed to find another body to administer the territory. “You have to reach an understanding here with the Jordanians,” Lieberman said. “They would administer Areas B and A and take security and administrative responsibility. You cannot have a vacuum.”
