OT but holy cr*p is this a bombshell in Israeli politics:

Ynet: Lieberman announcement: Won’t join new Netanyahu Government

Avigdor Lieberman will lead his Yisrael Beytenu party into opposition and will not join the new government, the outgoing foreign minister announced Monday, effectively ending a years-long partnership with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud.

“I am happy we chose principles and not portfolios”, Lieberman said at a faction meeting in Jerusalem. “What’s being built is not a national camp, but a government that smacks of opportunism”.

With Yisrael Beytnetnu’s departure, Netanyahu is now looking at a government of just 61 out of the 120 members of the Knesset.
