according to these reports, leiberman may be making this announcement to dismantle the partnership inext hour or so. he may be making this formal announcement. now what we know from analysts is apparently tensions are rising between netanyahu and leiberman, probably about the issue of gaza and netanyahu has made it clear in the last few days that maybe now is not the time for an escalation. and leiberman known to be a right wing minister wants a comprehensive military operation against gaza and probably believes netanyahu is not handling the rockets that are being fired from gaza in central israel well enough. this is not the first time that tensions rise between these two. we also know from analysts that leiberman is known to flip-flop between representing the right wing and the center right wing and also not clear whether this would effect the coalition government but for now these are reports we are getting from israeli media and we cannot confirm them until there is an official announcement of the partnership by leiberman who is expected to make statements and give a news conferen
