Minister for Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman slammed his fellow Knesset member, Defense Minister Amir Peretz on Monday, saying that "as long as this man is in his post, the State of Israel and its security are severely harmed."
"The man is engaged in political manipulations, and this is not the defense minister Israel needs," Lieberman claimed, clarifying that "I have no problem with Christians and Muslims. I have no problem with any person who accepts the principle according to which the State of Israel is Jewish and Zionist."
The defense minister was quick to respond to Lieberman. "It appears that the decision to appoint Raleb Majadele as a minister in the State of Israel is bringing about many disproportional reactions, which deviate from any rule of public discourse. I believe that if the State of Israel is in danger, it is the danger concealed in a racist party like Israel Our Home, because it appears that this move is causing some discomfort to them, as well as a deep crisis," Peretz stated. |
