Lieberman: It is not ruled out that Auerbach's conduct stems from the fact that he is being blackmailed
In an interview with 103FM, the finance minister said that the conduct of a right-wing MK who had temporarily resigned from the coalition was not clear to him, so he may have been blackmailed. Which will lead to a moderation in rental prices

Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman said today (Sunday) that he does not rule out a claim that right-wing MK Nir Auerbach is being blackmailed, which apparently explains his conduct in recent weeks. A week ago, Auerbach announced that he is not part of the coalition "until further notice"
"There are a lot of rumors and the question is really whether there is blackmail here," Lieberman told 103FM. "I can not say
.
I have no proof of this, but I have heard all kinds of people who have known him from previous periods, from the days of a Jewish home and Bnei Akiva.
I do not know what was there, but from everything I hear I can not disqualify.
Beyond Edith Silman's words, quite a few people walk around the Knesset corridors and the Knesset buffet, and you hear all kinds of ricochets from the same conversations and the same comments.
I have no proof but I can not rule out that he is not under extortion and threats and that is perhaps the explanation for all this conduct. "
On the feasibility of ending the government's path, he replied: "I believe we will end the summer session, there will also be a winter session. We are operating within the budget until 31.12, but must be prepared with a budget proposal."
"Can not disqualify that he is not under extortion and threats."

Lieberman also referred to the housing protest, which he claimed that "in the end everything is a function of supply and demand, and in terms of supply as we did in housing for young couples, we broke all records and we see that there is a curb in housing prices, and if we continue with the plan "A decrease in prices and in demand. And on the issue of renting the same thing, we need to ultimately increase supply and increase supply will lead to both moderation and a decrease in prices."
Asked if legislation would be needed to limit rental prices, he replied that he "believes in a free economy."
"There will be more competition, there will be more supply, we will see the price drop, and all the legislation it does not help, it usually just hurts."
"The price increase is not in the State of Israel, it is all over the world, when in our country compared to the superpowers it is half or less than half. If I compare to other countries we are a quarter or a third of the usual price increase in Europe and North America."
