Former defense minister Avigdor Liberman mocks Jewish Home ministers Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked as being too attached to their positions in the cabinet to make the principled decision to resign.

“I listened to ministers Bennett and Shaked today, and there, too, there was no connection to responsibility or security,” Liberman says during a Yisrael Beytenu faction meeting, scoffing at the reasoning the Jewish Home leaders gave today for why they will remain in the government.

“They stick to their chairs (ministerial posts) at any price and justify it with every possible argument,” he adds, saying Bennett and Shaked were unable to withstand the pressure against them.
