More on Netanyahu-Lieberman

A few days ago I noted tensions between Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and his Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman.

The BBC has an update:  Israeli PM admits ‘mistake’ over Turkey talks ‘insult’.

    Be real. Netanyahu knows Lieberman is a nut case but he just happens to be the leader of a extreme fundamentalist party that is essential to keeping Bibi’s coalition in power. Israel needs a rapprochemont with Turkey and there is no way Lieberman is going to facilitate that so what was the alternative. This morning’s news that the Turkish foreign minister sent a clear message that Turkey wants its preconditions met or it’s going to suspend relations altogether suggests the Turks are in no mood to paper this over.
