Avigdor Lieberman sells out
Boy, what a total wimp Avigdor Lieberman turns out to be. With this news, it's apparent that he doesn't have any solid standings.
It's to be hoped that this won't last long, and that Shas, which objects to the kind of civil marriages that Lieberman supports, as noted here, will choose wisely and leave the government. But then, that's also why anyone concerned should be contacting them to urge them to do so. Again, here's Shas's website and e-mail, avidaniiz@012.net.il, plus the contact info of some of the MKs:
David Azulai: 04-9815233, 0505-494151
Nissim Ze'ev: 02-5374319, 0505-411752
Amnon Cohen: 08-9230340, 0505-515361
Yitzhak Cohen: 08-6738063, 0505-457005
Yaakov Margi: 08-6420211, 0544-962020
The empty deal Lieberman made does seem to have brought up some angry responses among Yisrael Beitenu's other members already (via Shiloh Musings). Perhaps they might think to come and join the Likud, instead of wasting their time with some so power-greedy, he'd forfeit all positions he supposedly ever stood for?
Update: please read this entry by Prof. Paul Eidelberg, which talks about how awful Lieberman and his flaccid positions really are.
