Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman urges fellow opposition party leaders to boycott the final votes on the coalition’s controversial “reasonableness” bill, which a Knesset committee is expected to approve tomorrow for its second and third plenum readings.

“We cannot give legitimacy to legislation that harms Israeli democracy and national resilience,” Liberman tweets
