The New Right party responds, according to MK Avigdor Liberman, that he will demand the Religious Services ministry in the next government.

"A moment after the New Right demands responsibility for the religious and state spheres, Liberman decides to also ask for it. His purpose is to sow conflict and division, while our goal is to bring about consensus and peace.

"The New Right serves as a connection between the different sections of the people, Liberman has come with a plan to divide and create conflict. We insist on our demand to return the religious portfolio to Zionist hands," the party's response reads.
