Defense minister announces resignation, calls for new elections

In a political drama, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman announced his resignation and calls for the government to be dismantled and for new elections to be called.

The announcement comes after a Yisrael Beytenu party meeting in which he told MKs of his decision.

A day earlier, Liberman and other ministers severely criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over a ceasefire reportedly agreed with Palestinian terror groups in Gaza.
