Joint List leader laments being seated next to newest opposition member Avigdor Liberman
Joint List leader Ayman Odeh laments the seating placement of new opposition member Avigdor Liberman right next to him in the Knesset.
“I’m considering resigning from the opposition,” Odeh tweets, mocking Liberman who resigned from his position as defense minister last week. The Joint List chairman attaches a photo of him looking less-than-excited to be seated next to the Yisrael Beytenu leader, who has regularly called Odeh and his fellow faction MKs “terrorists.”

The decision meant Liberman and the other four Yisrael Beytenu lawmakers received new seats with the other opposition parties in the Knesset.
