Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman has expressed his disgust with reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu held conversations with the head of Moody's prior to the published decision to lower Israel's credit rating.
Speaking on Radio 103FM, Liberman said it was "unprecedented for such political meddling to occur in an attempt to exert pressure. Netanyahu knows the significance of this [lowering of the credit rating]. It's clear that the government is history."
Liberman also attacked the government's proposals for a new Draft Law to regularize the status of haredi youth, declaring that he found it hard to believe that the IDF could support lowering the age of exemption from the draft, as reports have stated in the last day. "We must pass a law stating that every single 18-year-old, whether Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Druze, or Chercassi, must enlist in the IDF or to National Service," he said.
