Liberman: We’ll support suspension bill, for a price

Avigdor Liberman says that his Yisrael Beytenu opposition party will support the MK suspension bill if Netanyahu’s coalition supports legislation of his in turn.

According to the Israel National News website, Liberman says at the start of his party’s faction meeting that he will not heal the coalition’s woes at Yisrael Beytenu’s expense.

The coalition is at least two votes short of the 61-MK majority needed to pass the controversial legislation, which would allow lawmakers to suspend their colleagues, should 90 Knesset members support the move.
