Israel's Most Right-Wing Government

  • 🎯 Israel's government is currently the most right-wing it has ever been, formed after the November 2022 elections.
  • 🀝 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leads a coalition that includes extreme far-right parties, such as ultranationalists and Jewish supremacists.
  • βš–οΈ Netanyahu's reliance on these allies is partly due to his need for political survival amidst corruption scandals.

Far-Right Agendas for Gaza

  • πŸ’₯ Ministers from the far-right coalition have openly stated their desire to conquer the Gaza Strip.
  • ✈️ They advocate for the evacuation of Palestinians from Gaza, with plans suggesting it could take months to years depending on the daily rate.
  • πŸ—ΊοΈ Some fervent supporters organize marches demanding that Gaza become Israeli territory, with some expressing readiness to move into the area.

West Bank Expansion and Annexation Goals

  • 🏘️ The far-right ministers also aim to increase the number of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, which are considered illegal under international law.
  • πŸ“ˆ Their long-term objective is the annexation of the West Bank territory.
  • ❌ One minister has called for the village of Huara to be "wiped off the map" by the state of Israel.

Religious Controversies and Political Leverage

  • πŸ•Œ Far-right leaders have caused controversy regarding holy sites, such as Itamar Ben-Gvir praying at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, violating a 1967 agreement.
  • 🀝 Netanyahu has not officially endorsed these provocative acts but depends on his ultra-nationalist allies for his parliamentary majority.
  • ⚠️ Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich leverage their positions by threatening to resign, thereby destabilizing the coalition if Netanyahu does not align with their demands.
