Liberman tells Bennett to ‘calm down’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDefense Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) urges his coalition partner Naftali Bennett, the leader of the Jewish Home party, to “calm down.”
Bennett castigated Netanyahu on Sunday, accusing him of talking out of both sides of his mouth about the establishment of a Palestinian state.
“I call on my good friend Naftali Bennett — calm down. I refer those who can’t contain themselves to the doctor who extended my short fuse,” says Liberman, reiterating a joke he made upon entering the coalition.
Liberman says he is in favor of a “wide coalition, from wall to wall” in light of Israel’s “regional challenges.”
He says he won’t be giving interviews for several months as he focuses on learning the ropes at the Defense Ministry.
