Liberman Says Next Coalition Must Rest on Jewish, Democratic Values and 'One Law' for All

Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman said the next coalition must be founded on the principles of a Jewish and democratic state, equality of rights and obligations, and "one law" for all citizens. He said that after "the three most difficult years in the history of the State of Israel," the country must return to the values on which it was founded. Liberman said those values are reflected in Theodor Herzl's "The Jewish State" and in Israel's Declaration of Independence.
