Chairman Ayman Odeh of the Joint List of predominantly Arab parties told Israel Defense Forces Radio on Thursday that former defense minister Avigdor Liberman "is a miserable person suffering from lack of self-confidence," following the request by Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu party that he not sit in the Knesset plenum next to Liberman.
The to were placed next to each other after Liberman resigned as defense minister following the end of last week's hostilities in the Gaza area. Odeh added, "It was a strange moment."
