To unseat Netanyahu, Israel's once-unyielding Liberman turns to compromise
Verified: 2 outlets in 2 countries have reported this story since Nov 9.
He built his career on unyielding principles, but the Israeli secular nationalist Avigdor Liberman is now preaching compromise in a bid to bring down Benjamin Netanyahu, his former mentor whom he now despises. For three decades, Liberman's steely blue eyes, steadily greying whiskers and ample use of chess metaphors have been an ever-present part of Israeli political life. So too has been the unwavering defence of secularism by the 68-year-old immigrant from the former Soviet Union, as religious Jews gain political influence inside Israel.
