The Ideal of #Democracy in a Jewish State Is in Jeopardy - from the #Editorial #Board of the #New #York #Times
"While Mr. #Netanyahu clearly has the support of the #Israeli electorate, his coalition’s victory was narrow and cannot be seen as a broad mandate to make concessions to ultrareligious and ultranationalist parties that are putting the ideal of a democratic #Jewish #state in #jeopardy"
'#Ministers in the new #government are set to include figures such as #Itamar #Ben-#Gvir, who was convicted in #Israel in 2007 for #incitement to #racism and supporting a Jewish #terrorist #organization. He will probably be #minister of #national #security. #Bezalel #Smotrich, who has long supported outright #annexation of the #West #Bank, is expected to be named the next #finance #minister, with additional authority over the administration of the West Bank. For the #deputy in the #prime #minister’s office in charge of Jewish identity, Mr. Netanyahu is expected to name #Avi #Maoz, who once described himself as a “#proud #homophobe.”'
