Liberman: Next coalition may be most religiously conservative in our history
Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman warns the next coalition, if formed by the right, is set to be the most religiously conservative in Israel’s history.
“The right-wing coalition taking shape will have around 25 ultra-Orthodox or national Orthodox MKs — unprecedented in the annals of Israeli governments,” he says. Such a coalition, he says “which seeks to turn Israel into a halachic state, should very much worry Israel’s secular public.”
He says his party will not enter such a coalition “without seeing what has been agreed to with the ultra-Orthodox.”
