Israel's ultranationalist foreign minister Avigdor Liberman
returns to office

(CNN) -- On Monday night, Avigdor Liberman was sworn in as
Israel's foreign minister after an absence of almost a year,
amid a crescendo of opposition protests in the Knesset.
A comfortable majority vote -- 62 members voting for, 17 against
and one abstention -- paved his way back into office. But his
hard-line attitude on Israeli-Palestinian peace talks may put
him in the diplomatic deep end with those trying to advance the
process.
Labor Party leader Shelly Yachimovich said reappointing Liberman
was a mistake. "In light of the attempts to reignite the
negotiations with the Palestinians and delicate relations with
the U.S. and especially the complex diplomacy involved in the
Iranian situation, a foreign minister like Liberman will deepen
the rifts and pour fuel on fires rather than putting them out,"
she said. "This is not good for Israel."
Liberman views Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as
an obstacle to peace. His Yisrael Beiteinu party is also
supportive of West Bank Jewish settlements, whose presence is
reviled by Palestinians and many Israelis, who consider them
obstacles to a peace agreement.

Liberman's view seems to contradict the position of Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has entered into a
negotiating process with the Palestinian Authority.
Liberman was acquitted last week on charges of breach of trust
and fraud.
Netanyahu had held the Foreign Ministry position for almost a
year after Liberman resigned to face the charges, and welcomed
him back into the government.
The trial centered on claims Liberman had pushed to get the
Israeli ambassador to Belarus transferred after the diplomat
allegedly handed over confidential information that included
details of a secret police inquiry regarding Liberman. Liberman
denied violating any laws.
Liberman has faced international criticism for his hard-line
stance on Israel's Arab minorities.
His ultranationalist party is especially popular with immigrants
from the former Soviet Union, where he was born and raised
