Liberman said to offer ‘security net’ to coalition after size dips to 61

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman, whose party now sits in the opposition after he resigned from his posting as defense minister last week, offered the 61-member coalition a “security net” to help it pass legislation, Channel 10 reports.

In exchange for Yisrael Beytenu votes in favor of Culture Minister Miri Regev’s legislation that would see state funding for the arts contingent on “loyalty,” the right-wing lawmaker is asking the coalition to back his “death penalty for terrorists” bill.
