Liberman to PM: Promise no third election under any circumstances
Avigdor Liberman reacts to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call that he make clear whether he will allow the formation of a government leaning on Arab MKs.
“Mr. Prime Minister, before you demand promises from me, promise to the people of Israel that you won’t take Israel to an election for a third time in a year under any circumstances,” he says.

He also claims it is Netanyahu who has had “close relations” with the Joint List’s Ahmad Tibi.
