Lieberman's double move: talks about the Haredim – and eyes a right-wing government

Commentator Boaz Golan assesses that Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman does not rule out the possibility of cooperation with the right-wing bloc, including a rotation with Netanyahu, while softening his positions on the Haredi issue as groundwork for the move.

Commentator Boaz Golan assessed on Channel 14 News that Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman does not rule out the possibility of cooperation with the right-wing bloc, particularly with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Golan, Lieberman's conduct on the Haredi issue, including softening his positions, may be part of preparing the ground for joining a government led by Likud. Golan revealed that in the political system, people are beginning to talk about a scenario of a rotation government, in which Lieberman would serve first as prime minister and Netanyahu would replace him after two years. However, Golan noted that on the Likud side, they do not see a possibility that Netanyahu would let Lieberman be first in the rotation. Golan emphasized that this is a possibility he hears in political conversations, not an agreement reached or an official proposal.
