Opposition politician Avigdor Lieberman will join the Israeli security cabinet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party said on Saturday, broadening the emergency unity government formed after the devastating attack by Hamas.

The centrist party of former Defence Minister Benny Gantz agreed this week to form a unity government with Netanyahu and his right wing coalition partners to confront the crisis triggered by the unprecedented attack.
