From Jewish Home expected to demand Bennett replace Liberman as defense minister
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Jewish Home party is expected to demand the position of defense minister for its leader following Avigdor Liberman’s resignation, according to Hebrew-language media reports before the dramatic announcement.
Many news outlets quote senior members of the religious right-wing party as saying it will demand the appointment of Education Minister Naftali Bennett as Liberman’s replacement.
Likud minister Tzachi Hanegbi, however, tells public broadcaster Kan that such a scenario is “unrealistic,” adding that he would be willing to be defense minister himself if offered the job.
