Ultra-Orthodox MK: Liberman ‘trying to hinder a right-wing government’
United Torah Judaism MK Yisrael Eichler attacks Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman for his list of demands to enter the coalition — including several that clash with ultra-Orthodox interests.
“Liberman is trying to hinder a right-wing government,” he says at the Knesset.
He calls — whether seriously or not — for a rerun of the elections, saying the right lost many votes on parties that fell below the threshold.

“If we go back to elections and call on the right to only vote for those who pass, we won’t need to be as beggars on the doorstep, giving Liberman the Defense Ministry and forcing his positions upon an entire nation.”
