The former foreign minister was sworn in after receiving 55 votes in the 120-seat parliament (Knesset) while 43 members voted against him on Monday.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet unanimously approved Lieberman’s appointments.
Described by the Israeli daily Haaretz as a politician “to whom military DNA is utterly foreign,” Lieberman is known for his controversial comments, his harsh policies against Palestinians, and pro-settlement stance.

In his letter of resignation, Avi Gabbay said that recent “political maneuvering” and replacements are “grave actions that ignore what is important for [Israel’s] security and will bring about more extremism and rifts among the people,”

Put our enemies on notice of our capabilities.
Secretary of Defense is wimpy compared to Secretary of War.
One good result from Minister Lieberman's new appointment in Israel is that Nasrallah, (Hizbollah’s leader in Lebanon) has already said that “...Lieberman is crazy”. THAT is already a good sign.
When insane, murderous Muslim Arabs think the new Israel Defense Minister is “Crazy”, we are off to a good start...
Just the title of the article without having to read it I’d already know who’re writing it. What’s the sense of even posting here at FR? You trolling?
