Jerusalem (CNN) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shifted his government even further to the right with the addition of the right-wing nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party. At a party meeting in June, he ridiculed the Prime Minister, saying, "Netanyahu doesn't belong, not to the right and not to the left. When Netanyahu was first elected Prime Minister in 1996, Liberman became director-general of the Prime Minister's office. Netanyahu's coalition now includes all of the right-wing parties and excludes the left-wing parties. Among other roles, Liberman has also been deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs from 2009 to 2015 before moving to the opposition.
