According to Lieberman, he is interested in moving the debate from the personal to the ideological side, but made it clear that he will not sit down with Netanyahu - even if he is minister of absorption.

He emphasized the need to adapt the nationality law to the minorities who serve in the army, and said that he intends to promote a law that would allow the speaker of the Knesset to be removed only by a majority of 90 votes

The chairman of Israel Beitenu, Minister of Finance Avigdor Lieberman, today (Sunday) launched Israel Beitenu's election campaign. "I am sure that the Change Bloc will continue to lead the State of Israel and form the next government," he said, predicting that the party will win eight mandates in the upcoming elections. We want to move the parties' debate from the personal to the ideological level," he clarified. In his words, he emphasized the need to adapt the nationality law to the minorities who serve in the army.



"When we went to the elections, we pledged that we would form a government without the ultra-Orthodox and without Netanyahu and take the treasury portfolio - we met all three goals.

I want to clarify what we are fighting for in these elections - governmental stability, personal security, strengthening the economy and reducing disparities."

"When I say governmental stability, I mean to propose the Speaker of the Knesset law which says that the Speaker of the Knesset cannot be removed without 90 votes," he explained.

"We politicians have failed, we are dragging Israel into a fifth election in three years. The bill will allow those who formed a government to survive for at least two years because in order to topple the government, a majority of 90 MKs will have to replace the speaker of the Knesset."

Lieberman made it clear that there is no chance that Israel Beytinu will sit under Netanyahu.

"Furthermore," he added, "even if there is an option to form a government in one way or another and Netanyahu wants to be Minister of Absorption - we will not sit with him."



According to Lieberman, "Since 1996, there has never been a government that managed to do so much in one year. At the same time, there were things that we did not accomplish, such as in the housing program. Even before Naftali Bennett resigned, I prepared a state budget. The budget is not numbers, but a work plan with order Priorities are clear. I defined that the first thing is personal security and the return of governance. The intention is to recruit 3000 police officers without increasing the strength of the Israel Police.

All talk of governance is idle talk.

Recruiting the police officers in the first year will cost 700 million shekels and then 400 million shekels per year."
