Dvir Kariv, a former Shin Bet official, announced Sunday that he is joining the Yisrael Beiteinu party led by Avigdor Liberman, becoming the latest security figure to align with the party. In a statement reported by N12, Kariv said the decision to enter politics was not easy but that Israeli citizens have paid heavy prices in the recent war, with students of his fallen and reservists carrying the country on their shoulders. 'A government that failed refused to take responsibility,' he said. The announcement follows a report earlier today that Kariv would be joining Liberman's party, and comes as Yisrael Beiteinu has been attracting former security officials, including Brig. Gen. (res.) Gadi Meiri and longtime Likud activist Bili Rubin.
