More on Avigdor Lieberman
Description from Wikipedia:
Avigdor Lieberman (Hebrew: אביגדור ליברמן , Russian: Авигдор (Эве́т Львович) Либерман, born 5 June 1958 as Evet Lieberman) is an Israeli politician and Member of the Knesset as well as the current Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of Israel. He is the founder and leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, whose electoral basis are the immigrants from the former Soviet Union.
A polarizing figure within Israeli politics, Lieberman is quoted as saying, "I've always been controversial because I offer new ideas. For me to be controversial, I think this is positive." Lieberman has called for Israel to redraw its borders to hand over Arab areas and Arab-Israeli populations to the control of the Palestinian Authority while retaining major settlement blocs, and require all Israelis, including the often anti-Zionist Haredim and Arab citizens of Israel, to sign a loyalty oath or lose their right to vote.
Lieberman first entered the Knesset in 1999, and has since served in numerous roles in the government, including as Minister of National Infrastructure, Minister of Transportation, Minister of Strategic Affairs, Deputy Prime Minister, and Foreign Affairs Minister.
