Barkat: Liberman will make good defense minister
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat says that Liberman will make a good defense minister, who “thinks outside the box.”
In apparent effort to calm fears over the hawkish politician’s previous controversial statements, the mayor adds that Liberman “is not alone and he has the entire establishment around him.”
Speaking to students at the Hebrew University, Barkat also says he will never run against Netanyahu for the Likud leadership, Channel 2 reports. Furthermore, Barkat adds, he intends to seek another term as mayor of the capital.
