What will Netanyahu do with his expanded coalition?




Inside Story show

Summary: Israel's Prime Minister has expanded his coalition. It's a goal he said has always sought since winning a fourth term last year. It's the result of a deal between Benjamin Netanyahu, and ultranationalist opposition leader Avigdor Lieberman. Lieberman is promising level-headed policy, focused on Israel's security. But with a history of threats against the Palestinians, many are wondering if his new job as defence minister will end hopes for any future peace deal. On Inside Story, a discussion on the fallout of this new coalition both in Israel and abroad.
