Avigdor Lieberman appointed Israel
Israel`s former foreign minister and the leader of conservative "Israel - Our Home" party Avigdor Lieberman has been appointed the country`s defense minister
The appointment to the post of Israel`s defense minister was the main condition for the entry of Lieberman`s party into the ruling coalition, said the newspaper.

Upon the entry of "Israel - Our Home" party, the number of mandates of the ruling coalition in parliament will increase to 66. Until then, the coalition formed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a minimum majority - 61 from 120 seats in the Knesset (Israeli parliament).

Israel`s former defense minister Moshe Ya`alon resigned last week explaining his decision with the "lack of confidence" in the country`s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
