Liberman against Bennett: "With Netanyahu? The world could turn upside down and it won't happen"

Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman attacked former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett after Bennett said Netanyahu could serve as a minister in a government under his leadership. Liberman called on the Zionist bloc to commit that Netanyahu will not hold any position in the next government, citing the indictments pending against him.

Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman attacked former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett this evening (Sunday) following Bennett's remarks at the "Hador" conference, where he said Benjamin Netanyahu could serve as a minister in a government under his leadership. Bennett clarified that Netanyahu would not serve as prime minister, but described him as "one of the best finance ministers the country has had" and expressed willingness to cooperate with him as a minister in his government. Liberman, Bennett's partner in the former change government, harshly condemned the statement and called on all members of the Zionist bloc to fall in line: "The world could turn upside down and we will not sit with Netanyahu." He added that in the next government, Netanyahu would not be able to serve even as a minister for regional cooperation. The article notes that Netanyahu faces indictments and therefore cannot serve as a minister. The dispute reveals an ongoing rift in the Zionist bloc over the possibility of future cooperation with Netanyahu.
