REPORT: Israel's most polarizing politicians named defense chief

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu named one of Israel's most polarizing politicians as defense minister.

One of Israel's most divisive leaders, Lieberman, 57, is known for a sharp tongue that has offended allies and opponents at home and abroad.

 

He has angered neighboring Egypt with comments in the past, including a suggestion that Israel bomb Egypt's Aswan Dam. In another moment of anger, he said Egypt's then-president Hosni Mubarak could "go to hell."

 

Also among his controversial stances, Lieberman favored much harsher military action during a 2014 war against Gaza.
