Avigdor vs. Lieberman: How the man who dismantled the right became the de facto manager of the change bloc

Avigdor Lieberman has become the de facto manager of the change bloc, even though Gadi Eisenkot received the mandate to form the government. Lieberman sets the direction, pushes for agreements, and tries to create order in the bloc, while courting the ultra-Orthodox parties he once fought against.

Since the elections, Avigdor Lieberman has become the de facto manager of the change bloc, even though Gadi Eisenkot received the mandate to form the government. Lieberman sets the direction, pushes for agreements, and tries to create order in the bloc. Former Knesset member Robert Ilatov said: 'Without Avigdor Lieberman, there is no change bloc right now.' The article describes Lieberman's political transformation, from a fierce opponent of the ultra-Orthodox in 2019 to courting them today. Journalist Amnon Lord said Lieberman wants to be 'the most sought-after poker player,' and Ophir Pines-Paz assessed that Lieberman may be pressuring Eisenkot to secure a rotation for the premiership. Author Hanan Amior called Lieberman 'an enigmatic person.'
