Liberman: We’ll only recommend whoever backs unity government as PM

Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman says his party will only recommend as a candidate for prime minister someone who supports the formation of a national unity government after the September 17 elections.

Speaking at a Yisrael Beytenu campaign event, Liberman says that in addition to the defense and immigration ministries, his party will also demand the health and interior portfolios in coalition talks after the elections.
