Yisrael Beiteinu chairman MK Avigdor Lieberman published a post on his Facebook page in which he wrote, "Congratulations to the cadet Y., who will finish the pilot course in a few days and become the first Ethiopian combat pilot in the history of the IDF".
"The IDF is the melting pot of Israeli society and the success of cadet Y. proves this once again. I wish him and his friends that they will always take off as high as possible and the most important thing that they always return safely. "
