Politics - Draft - Lieberman voicing his own opinions

s it acceptable for a Minister to make a statement during a visit to a foreign counterpart and then upon criticism say that it was his personal opinion and not his country's position? is he allowed to voice his opinion when it's in dissonance with the official position??



LIEBERMAN. WHO ELSE. TOLD THAT LEAVING A FEW ARABS IN THE PAL STATE ONCE WE DRAW THE BORDERS IS HIS OWN IDEA

Theoretically not at all acceptable, but in practice I think that the likelihood that Lieberman would do this sort of thing is a part of the reason Netanyahu chose him for the job. Hes the bad cop that enables Netanyahu to make a somewhat plausible attempt to position himself as the good cop.
