Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon have agreed that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not present a proposal to solve the political crisis gripping the governing coalition Sunday, they will vote on Wednesday to dissolve the Knesset, leading to new elections, Army Radio reported Sunday.
Former Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, in a separate interview on Army Radio Sunday, said that despite efforts to interfere with his work he always acted properly.
Liberman said that those claiming he had no impact on the Ministry of Defense “are getting their cues from above,” hinting at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In references to the demand made by Bennett that he be appointed defense minister, Liberman said that there is no other reason to give him the Ministry of Defense “other than saving Israeli education.”
Liberman rejected the claim his resignation has damaged a “secret defense-related move” undertaken by the Netanyahu administration. “These are just excuses,” he said, “for cabinet members to even speak about these things [publicly] is irresponsible.”
