Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Monday praised Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the government for passing the oath of allegiance proposal the previous day.
'This is not only theoretical, this is an important, practical issue, which also has relevance in daily life,' Lieberman told an Israel Beiteinu meeting. 'Since the establishment of the state we have dealt with the issue of a Jewish nation and its relevance; the argument did not only take place in the political halls, many lawyers also grappled with it.'"
