Benjamin Netanyahu Gets Backing by Far-Right Party in Bid for Prime Minister Role

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received major support in his bid to return to office after picking up the backing of Avigdor Lieberman and his Yisrael Beiteinu party.

Netanyahu’s Likud party holds 27 seats in the Knesset, one less than the Kadima party led by Tzipi Livni but with the backing of Yisrael Beiteinu, which holds 15 seats, Netanyahu will likely be asked by President Shimon Peres to form Israel’s next government.

As part of his conditional support Lieberman stressed the importance of a broad coalition government that would be reflect the three largest parties, Kadima, Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu. Regrading his support of Netanyahu the Yisrael Beiteinu leader noted, “We are not talking of a government with a restricted majority. To govern the country, we need a government with the three largest parties.”

Livni’s Kadima party has been in favor of continued peace talks with Palestinians while Netanyahu is opposed to negotiations. A decision from Peres will likely be announced on Sunday or Monday.
