MK Sharren Haskel [Likud] said that attempts by former Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman to present himself as a hawk failed during a cultural event in Kiryat Ono on Saturday. "Liberman did what he did because of politics, not ideology," Haskel said, "he is hanging on to a life preserver." "All of his attempts to paint himself as a hawk had failed," Haskel said, "and his voters are not happy." Haskel also said that by resigning, Liberman "gave Hamas a victory photo during the last conflict."
