Netanyahu calls on Liberman to not bolt government over enlistment bill
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls on Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman to not pull his Yisrael Beytenu party out of the coalition in protest of legislation exempting ultra-Orthodox students from military service.
“I call on all the coalition partners, first and foremost Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, to remain in the government and to continue this partnership in order to guarantee security, prosperity and stability for the State of Israel,” Netanyahu says.
“We face with great challenges and we all know what they are, as well as great opportunities. Therefore, it is important to continue the partnership between us with a broad government as only it can continue to serve the citizens of Israel,” he adds.
