Chairman Avigdor Liberman of the Yisrael Beytenu Party was asked by the Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation, Thursday who could lead the right after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

The recently-resigned defense minister responded, "There are no irreplaceable people. There are no direct elections in Israel, and every coalition has a lot of 'goelitzia' [play on words in Hebrew for making things disgusting) as Rabin said. The election results will be surprising this year."
