I think the last thing that hinged on this was on Lieberman - and his issue was about the Haredim and military service.
Lieberman is right, in my opinion. They should be required to follow the same rules as every other citizen. That said, he should have been more pragmatic and saved that fight for another day.
One of the key issues with his coalition was that Netanyahu wanted legal protections from being prosecuted for his suspected crimes. I can see why he and Trump get along so well.
He stole the idea from US seeing how well it is working for Trump.
"Netanyahu, who has led Israel for the past decade, had appeared to capture a fourth consecutive term in the April 9 election. But infighting among his allies, and disagreements over proposed bills to protect Netanyahu from prosecution stymied his efforts to put together a majority coalition."
"The new election gives the anti-Netanyahu forces in Israel, led by Blue and White leader Benny Gantz, another shot at toppling the longtime leader. It also complicates Netanyahu’s efforts to pass the proposed bills to protect himself from prosecution.
Even if Netanyahu wins the election, it is unlikely he will be able to form a government and lock down the required political support for an immunity deal before an expected indictment. That would force him to stand trial, and in turn put heavy pressure on him to step aside."

Well, it could have been also personal for Lieberman...he used to be in Netanyahu's cabinet as foreign minister awhile back, then got pushed out. So I wouldn't put it past him to stick it to Netanyahu.
