This R&D provides resources on the return of Avigdor Lieberman to the Israeli government. Lieberman will serve as defense minister in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet. The move is controversial, as Lieberman has a mixed history in supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and leads the secular nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu Party, which draws support from Russian-speaking Israelis. He has also made polarizing statements in the past concerning the need for loyalty oaths and the treatment of Palestinian refugees.
