FACTBOX-Olmert's former right-wing coalition partner

(Reuters) - A right-wing party opposed to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's peace moves with the Palestinians quit his government on Wednesday, leaving him more politically vulnerable but still in control of a majority in parliament.

Here are five facts about the party, Yisrael Beiteinu, and its leader, Avigdor Lieberman.

* Founded in 1999 by Lieberman, a Jewish settler and immigrant from the former Soviet Union, Yisrael Beiteinu opposes a comprehensive Israeli withdrawal from the occupied West Bank. But it has indicated it would be willing to swap some land for peace under certain conditions.

* The party joined Olmert's coalition in October 2006 after Israel's Lebanon war with Hezbollah guerrillas. Lieberman was given the post of minister of strategic affairs.

*Yisrael Beiteinu had 11 of the coalition's 78 seats in the 120-member parliament.

* Lieberman formerly served as the director-general of the right-wing Likud Party as well as director-general of the prime minister's office, when Benjamin Netanyahu held the post.

* Renowned in Israel for his no-nonsense attitude, Lieberman once worked as a nightclub bouncer.
