Liberman keeping own deputy in the dark after outpost tape leaks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDefense Minister Avigdor Liberman reprimands his own deputy after a recording of Eli Ben Dahan bragging about a small ministry team responsible for legalizing West Bank outposts was leaked to the press.
The Times of Israel has learned that Liberman summoned Ben Dahan to his office for a conversation that was described in a Hadshot news report as “severe.”
The defense minister also banned his deputy from any involvement in future dealings with the legalization of West Bank outposts.
In the recording leaked yesterday, Ben Dahan can be heard saying that “we’ve formed a team of 4-5 people at the Defense Ministry and we’ve begun to map out all the outposts — around 70 of them — that are unregulated.”
