Avigdor Liberman's decision to resign immediately from his post as foreign minister is the outcome of a basic risk-management policy.
On Friday morning, Liberman convened his top-notch lawyers to receive a learned and up-to-date assessment, which consisted of two parts. The first one contended with the chances of his conviction in the ambassador affair. The second one addressed the chances of the petition filed against him with the Supreme Court with the demand that he resign from the government upon arraignment.
