They let Lieberman be Foreign Minister?!?!

Lieberman's party is the largest coalition partner which meant he had to get one of the big 4 (defence economy and foreign). Bibi wanted the economy under his direct control and Barak in defence which left only the foreign ministry to give Lieberman, a position with a lot of prestige but without much real power.

Anyway, this coalition will not survive more than a year. Hopefully it won't do too much damage during that time

If the problem in the coalition is with Labor than Bibi can add the NU and stay with the 65 mk's on the right. If the problem is fighting between Lieberman and the haredim then Bibi is screwed.
