Israel: Lieberman claims a "great victory" and at least 62 seats for the Israeli parties so far Israel Beitenu Chairman, Avigdor Lieberman, said that the vote must continue and that the government will only be formed with Israeli parties, especially those who perform military service. He based the figure of 62 seats on the percentage of votes counted so far. He also said that Netanyahu is "hysterical" because he knows he is going to lose.
