Liberman tells citizens to vote for any Zionist party.
Head of Yisrael Beytenu Avigdor Liberman called on voters on Tuesday to vote for any Zionist party from Meretz on the Left to Bayit Yehudi on the Right.   
"It doesn't matter if it Meretz, Yisrael Beytenu or Bayit Yehudi. The main thing is to go out and vote for a Zionist party because it is important to preserve the Jewish and Zionist character of the state of Israel," Liberman said.  
On Monday, Liberman, made a visit to Moshav Nativ Ha'asara where he spoke at  the site of an excavated tunnel built by Hamas terrorists. Liberman said that if he were defense minister, Hamas members would not be able to reconstruct tunnel networks. In addition, he also assured residents living near the Gaza Strip and in the South that the state is committed to their safety, and as defense minister he would make sure that the next round of fighting against Hamas will be the last.
