Playing for the opposition

Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman and his party colleagues play soccer against members of the Russian Jewish Congress, marking the date of victory over Nazi Germany, 70 years ago.

Liberman, who was foreign minister until two days ago, kept his party out of the coalition being formed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, preferring to sit in the opposition.
