Israel: Liberman ‘Like a Fox’
Ben Caspit reported the real story behind Avigdor Liberman’s resignation as Foreign Minister, and how Liberman foresees being in an even stronger position after the Israeli elections. Liberman, Caspit wrote, is “a politician with a caveat, a future finance minister who comes with a warning label.”
Akiva Eldar explored Liberman’s controversial appointment of Ze'ev Ben Aryeh as ambassador to Latvia, reportedly as a reward for leaking information beneficial to Liberman’s case, and what it means for Liberman’s plans to wrap up the case before the Israeli elections on Jan. 22, 2013.
