Opposition leader Avigdor Liberman told his associates Friday morning that he will become prime minister 'no matter what this time', according to a report. The statement reinforces Liberman's long-standing ambition to lead the next government.
Liberman has previously stated that he expects to form a minority government and that he should be prime minister even if his party receives fewer mandates than other right-wing factions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has dismissed Liberman's claims, has said he intends to run in the next election and win.
The Yisrael Beiteinu chairman's latest declaration comes amid ongoing political uncertainty, with no clear coalition majority emerging from recent polls.
