Netanyahu’s Far-Right Turn: Implications for Israeli Democracy and Middle East Stability
<p>The current Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marks a notable rightward shift in the nation’s politics, characterized by its strong far-right stance. This shift has significant implications both domestically and in terms of Israel’s international relations, particularly concerning democratic values, the peace process, and regional stability.</p>
<p>One of the pivotal figures in this government is Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Minister of National Security. Ben-Gvir is known for his provocative acts, such as entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which raised concerns about the potential for increased tensions and violence in East Jerusalem. His directive to remove Palestinian flags from public spaces was met with criticism, viewed as a move that could exacerbate tensions and undermine the freedom of expression and coexistence in the region.</p>
