A writer at Israel Hayom says Avigdor Liberman may have reached the end of his political career:

The Yisrael Beytenu party and its leader, Avigdor Lieberman, suffered a major blow on Thursday, when the Blue and White faction split: Benny Gantz led his party, Israel Resilience, into a unity government with the Likud and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while Yesh Atid's Yair Lapid and Telem's Moshe Ya'alon decided to sit in the opposition.

This development, which was stunning on the one hand and very predictable on the other, meant Lieberman has gone from political kingmaker to being utterly irrelevant in the span of just a few months. [...]

Likud MK Dr. Shlomo Karai told Israel Hayom, "The chief inciter, the person responsible for dragging Israel into three election campaigns in one year, has been left with no bargaining chips and may very well be left outside the government.

"He collaborated with the Joint Arab List's terror sympathizers and he has been left battered and bruised, pathetic and irrelevant," he continued, hedging that "soon, Lieberman will disappear from politics altogether.

"Lieberman, who sowed hate and schism in Israeli society, is now reaping the fruits of said hatred and will be relegated to the back benches of the opposition."

Well let's hope so. He did a terrible disfavor to the country, and he'd best come to terms with how his behavior is now leaving him on the outside looking in. That he would even go so far as to aid the Joint Arab List was another serious mistake he made. He'd do well to retire from politics, as he's only proven he was never fit for the job.
