Yisrael Beiteinu has risen through the ranks in Israeli politics, and now plays a central role in national affairs, party head Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Tuesday, speaking at a party event in honor of Rosh Hashanah.

“It’s clear beyond all doubt that Yisrael Beiteinu is a crucial factor, an important factor… a stabilizing force in the Israeli government,” he said. “We are also unconventional, we know how to think outside the box.”
