Lambasting PM’s deal with religious parties, Liberman calls on Netanyahu to cease the ‘tricks and shtick’

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman assailed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for forming a technical bloc with the religious Shas, UTJ and Yamina parties, claiming the premier was dragging the country into the year’s third election because of his refusal to let go of his hold on power.

“Quit the political exercises, tricks and shtick,” Liberman says in a Facebook post. “Come sit — you, [Blue and White chairman] Benny [Gantz] and I — in order to form a broad liberal unity government for the future of the State of Israel.”
