To me it's obvious why he does. Because unlike those on the left, he doesn't compromise on Israel first. Also, of note, Obama doesn't win anything anymore. Thanks be to God for that. Trudeau keeps winning elections because Canada. I'm not qualified to speak on German politics unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that Lieberman won’t form a coalition with blue and white. https://www.timesofisrael.com/again-likely-kingmaker-liberman-vows-to-do-everything-to-prevent-4th-elections/ He charged that the parties supporting Netanyahu constituted not a right-wing bloc, but an “ultra-Orthodox-messianic bloc.” Liberman said his party would convene later this week to make a decision. “We will make the decision according to what’s best for Israel and with our promises to voters,” he added. Liberman vowed he would not joint a Likud-led government that includes ultra-Orthodox parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 https://www.timesofisrael.com/liberman-says-his-party-will-back-law-that-would-bar-netanyahu-from-being-pm/ The Yisrael Beytenu party announced on Thursday that it would support a law barring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from forming the next government, in a move that would likely ensure a majority for such legislation in the Knesset. “At the faction meeting that just ended, it was decided to move forward with the promotion of two laws,” the secular, right-wing said in a statement. “The first law [will] limit the tenure of a prime minister to two terms. The second law [will] prevent an MK facing indictment from forming a government.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why do you think this applies in Israel where even people who are historically to the right such as Lieberman are supporting this move since Bibi is as corrupt as they come?
