The newspaper said Lieberman launched the criticism in a speech to the Israeli Cabinet on Thursday.
According to Haaretz, Lieberman arued that an overall reassessment of Israel's relationship with Norway was needed, and that expelling the monitors could be one element of this.
The monitors are part of an international observer group, the Temporary International Presence in Hebron. TIPH was introduced into the city in 1994, by agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, after Baruch Goldstein massacred 29 Muslim worshipers at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.
Although TIPH also includes monitors from Italy, Sweden, Turkey, Denmark and Switzerland, Norway is the group's principal supporter and is effectively in charge of it.
In his speech to the Cabinet, the Israeli Foreign Minister also referred to a meeting he had had with Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere last week, when the two attended the UN General Assembly in New York,
Haaretz quotes Lieberman as telling the Cabinet that of all the foreign ministers he met with in New York, this meeting was the most difficult, because "the Norwegians take a very hostile line against us."
According to Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, the Norwegian Department of Foreign Affairs has described the meeting in New York as constructive, but says it does not want to go into details of the talks.
