Ex-Minister Lieberman.
Ariel Sharon has finally managed to fire Minister Avigdor Lieberman from his government – although in a typically Israeli fashion, it wasn’t just a matter of sending him a letter.
The reason Sharon is firing Lieberman and Minister Benny Elon is so that they wouldn’t be able to vote against his Gaza disengagement plan at the cabinet meeting on Sunday morning. Termination letters take 48 hours before they come into effect. Ie. – he has to fire them this (Friday) morning.
Sharon apparently sent the letters with delivery messengers to Lieberman and Elon’s homes. Knowing what was coming, they both left home in order to delay the sacking for as long as possible. They’re yet to find Elon (as of this writing). They found Lieberman, but having met him in person, I can confirm that his ‘hiding place’ was, in theory at least, indeed ingenious, possibly the least likely place you might expect to find him (other than at a sulha with Arafat): the gym.
