Avigdor Lieberman, a former defense minister and current head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, issued a sharp public rebuke of opposition leader Yair Golan on Monday afternoon, mocking Golan's recent claims about evacuating settlements and unauthorized outposts. Lieberman's statement, reported by a single source, accused Golan of lacking 'coordination between his head and mouth' and suggested he should register for a storytelling festival.
