STEPANAKERT, NOVEMBER 14, ARTSAKHPRESSThe departure of the Russian-speaking leader of the Our Home Israel party does not deprive the country's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, of the parliamentary majority’s support, but reduces the right-religious coalition in Israel to a minimum of 61 mandates out of 120, increasing the possibility of snap elections.

"I didn't look for reasons to quit. I tried to remain a loyal government member, in the cabinet, keep differences internal even at an electoral cost,” Liberman told reporters.

Lieberman was appointed Defense Minister in 2016.
