Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has not ruled out the possibility of forming a government that includes ultra-Orthodox parties, stating that there is room for maneuver. Lieberman's comments suggest a potential shift in his stance, as his party has previously been a staunch opponent of the ultra-Orthodox parties' demands, particularly concerning issues of religion and state. The current political landscape in Israel is complex, with no clear majority emerging from recent elections, necessitating coalition negotiations among various factions. Lieberman's openness could be a strategic move to break the political deadlock and form a stable government. The Yisrael Beiteinu party typically advocates for secular policies and has often clashed with the ultra-Orthodox parties on issues such as military conscription for yeshiva students and the role of religion in public life. However, the need for a functional government might be pushing parties to reconsider their rigid positions and explore compromises.
