“The main goal of Yisrael Beiteinu in the upcoming elections is to put an end to the rule of Netanyahu and the ultra-Orthodox parties. We will work to create a bloc of the four parties – Yisrael Beiteinu, Yesh Atid, right, and new hope, to negotiate with the other players and form a Zionist and liberal coalition.” “Israel Beiteinu will demand full responsibility for the rehabilitation of the Israeli economy and the recovery of the economy,” he said.
He added that “for me, the finance portfolio is a real challenge. As someone who has served in the Ministry of Defense, Foreign Affairs, Transportation and National Infrastructure, I believe that I am not suitable for the position of the next Minister of Finance of the State of Israel.”
In his remarks, he also criticized MK Amir Ohana’s conduct, saying that “after Minister Amir Ohana turned the Ministry of Homeland Security into the Ministry of Defense Netanyahu and his family, we will also demand the internal security portfolio for MK Eli Avidar in the next coalition.”
Lieberman made sure to emphasize that in addition to the portfolio he is demanding for him and for Avidar, the party will also demand the health portfolio for Prof. Leonid Eidelman and the immigration and absorption portfolio for the chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu faction, MK Oded Forer.
“The next coalition agreement will be a real contract with the public, the one who serves in the IDF, works and pays taxes, so we will work to implement the Civil Marriage Law, public transportation on Saturday, transfer the decision to open businesses on Saturday to local government, recruit yeshivas for military or national service, and compulsory education. A core in all education systems, “he said at the end of his remarks.
Earlier this week, Lieberman addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and called on them to reduce the number of government ministers. “Take national responsibility and reduce unnecessary expenses,” he wrote in his letter.
“The inflated government of Israel, headed by you, was formed in sin while ignoring the economic crisis and in order to arrange jobs for Likud and blue-and-white MKs,” Lieberman wrote. “36 ministers, including the prime minister, and eight deputy ministers whose entire achievements for about six months amounted to bringing Israeli citizens into unnecessary closures while harming the economy and the public’s trust in its elected representatives.”
