Liberman wants Defense Ministry

Yisrael Beytenu’s Avigdor Liberman tells Ynet that he will demand the defense portfolio in exchange for joining Netanyahu’s coalition.

“Our demands are clear, we never hid them and put it in writing, and it includes the defense portfolio,” he says. “We don’t want to be the opposition, but we also won’t [simply join the] coalition at any cost.”

Liberman praises Netanyahu for the “extraordinary and impressive achievement.”
