Transportation Minister Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the National Union party, has resigned from the Knesset in order to make room for a party colleague to enter the Knesset. The new MK will be Eliezer "Cheetah" Cohen, who was a Knesset Member in the previous Knesset. Lieberman's move is a risky one, for if his party ever quits the government, he will be left with no public position.
Lieberman served as Minister of National Infrastructures for most of the previous government, as a Knesset Member from 1999-2001, and as Bureau Director for then-Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
