This week Israel's Foreign Minister began signalling he is interested in dragging the nation into early elections. These maneuvers came at the peak of Liberman's campaign to rebrand himself as a moderate and pragmatic leader. To discuss what an Israel under his leadership may look like, The Real News' Israel/Palestine Correspondent speaks with Political Economist Shir Hever in the first of a series of conversations on Israeli politics and the occupation. They are joined by author and commentator Michel Warschawski.

1. if he does this then

the Center/center-left parties need to unite under one flag/leader for the election. Most notably Labor, Meretz, Hatnuah and Yesh Atid. Bring those together, get one leader that is dynamic and can excite the electorate they can win. Many center/center-left have sat out recent elections in Israel, particularly the young. Get them out to vote and they can win, hand Lieberman and Bibi a big defeat.

It will take a swallowing of egos, but they have to do it for the benefit of Israel.
