Legal Analyst Predicts Lieberman's Coalition Entry if Right Wins 62 Seats
Attorney Yoram Sheftel stated on Channel 14 that if the "national camp" secures more than 62 seats in the upcoming elections, he anticipates Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, will join the government. Sheftel's prediction comes amid speculation about potential coalition formations following the election.
Sheftel's assessment highlights the potential influence of a strong right-wing mandate on coalition dynamics. He specifically pointed to Lieberman's past actions, noting that Lieberman previously dissolved a right-wing government over disagreements concerning the conscription law, a move that ultimately triggered several subsequent election cycles.
The attorney's remarks suggest a belief that a decisive victory for the right could compel Lieberman to reconsider his party's position and potentially join a coalition, despite his previous role in destabilizing a right-wing government.
