#ISRAEL: Appointment of "Radical" "Extremist" Avigdor Lieberman As Defense Min. Rattles Israelis

[world politics news]


The appointment of Avigdor Lieberman as Benjamin Netanyahu's defense minister has prompted calls of "fascism" and "extremism" from many in Israel. He once said Palestinian prisoners should be beheaded with axes, defended a soldier who murdered a Palestinian on the ground, and opposes a two-state solution. The appointment of Lieberman, who lives in a disputed squatter settlement on the West Bank, is seen as a radicalization of Netanyahu's government.
