-- Minister of Finance Avigdor Lieberman

1. the Haredi news is reporting this as Lieberman exercising his veto - it is not a veto. For a veto there would have to be negotiations on the table, an attempt to bring them in, a desire on their side to join the coalition, and the like. Unless things are going on behind the scenes that have not been made public, which is possible, there are no attempts being made to bring them in, so this is not a veto. it is just an answer, a spicy answer, to a question he was asked by a journalist.

2. the feeling is mutual. They don't seem to want to join the coalition. I see no conflict here.
