Liberman on Lapid getting mandate: It’s ‘now on us’ to form government
MK Avigdor Liberman, whose right-wing secularist Yisrael Beytenu party is part of the anti-Netanyahu “change bloc,” praises President Reuven Rivlin for his “correct decision” to task Yesh Atid chief Yair Lapid with forming a government.
“The job is now on us” to form a government, Liberman writes on Twitter, predicting a “stable” coalition can be formed within a week.
