Lieberman a game-changer?

Well, couldn't help noticing that Avigdor Lieberman, the Israelian foreign minister and leader of the party Israel Beiteinu, that consists of many immigrant Russians, have put an end to the speculations that Israel would make a raid towards Iran.

He spent the last three days in Moscow and have thus appeased Iran by befriending Russia. Was this the main idea by Binyamin Netanyahu when he chose the in the West controversial Lieberman? If the US and the EU are unfriendly I turn to Russia.

After all, President Obama is disregarding the democratic process in Israel when he asks Netanyahu to go against people in his coalition concerning settlements. To me it seems he will risk become unfriendly with the Israelis at the same time as he is not satisfying the Palestinians.

As a friend of the US and Israel and a person sceptical towards Russia, this is frustrating times.
