Liberman: Did not give up on conscription principle, will not block government formation

In depth

Liberman added that being prime minister is "an option, not an obsession," and said he is not acting out of ambition to be prime minister. According to him, the 2018 law serves as a basis for discussion on conscription.

Liberman made clear that he would oppose a minority government that relies on Arab parties. Benny Gantz announced that he will meet with Liberman and ask for his support for swearing in an emergency government.
