(Jerusalem Post) Israel's new defense minister, Avigdor Lieberman, made aliya in 1978 from the former Soviet Union republic of Moldova and was drafted into the IDF through a stream intended for older immigrants who are still eligible for military service. Reacting to inquiries concerning his army background, Lieberman posted a response on his Facebook page Thursday. Corporal Avigdor Lieberman completed rifleman basic training and served in 1982-1983 as an NCO for territorial security duties in Hebron as part of the military administration. Upon the completion of his regular service, Lieberman continued to serve regularly in the reserves as a soldier in the Artillery Corps until 1996, when he began working as the CEO of the prime minister's office under Benjamin Netanyahu, then in his first term. Lieberman concluded: "Every soldier who enlists is familiar with the adage coined by Napoleon: Every soldier carries a general's baton in his backpack. So now every soldier in the IDF knows he also carries the baton of the defense minister - and this is certainly a credit to Israel!" 2016-06-03 00:00:00Full Article
