House Speaker MK Shuli Mualem-Refaeli (Jewish Home) attacked Defense Minister Liberman, saying: "Liberman's tenure as defense minister will be remembered mainly as a single terror balloon that exploded above our heads."
"The escalation in the south continues to undermine the lives of the residents of the south who ask how long?" Added Mualem Refaeli.
"In the coming elections, the public has to ask itself whether it wants a defense minister or a balloon of empty promises."
