Well, I think outside of Israel, you've seen this reaction from a variety of countries who've expressed shock and anger, whether that is Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Spain, the list goes on.

Israeli ambassadors have been summoned.

and foreign ministers and Giorgio Maloney in Italy, prime ministers, have said that this treatment is appalling and shocking.

In Israel, we haven't had nearly that level of outrage.

But what you have had are rebukes from within the cabinet, and that's unusual.

And that goes, Gideon Sall, the foreign minister, was very quick out of the blocks after this video was released to say that, to say that Itamar Ben-Vegir, in his opinion, doesn't represent Israeli values, and this is not

country that we are.

This is no shrinking liberal politician.

He's a pretty tough

foreign minister who toes the party line.

So that was unusual.

And then a rebuke from Benjamin Netanyahu himself against Ben-Gavir.

So what we haven't seen yet, Claire, is anybody coming out in support of Ben-Gavir other than Interbar Ben-Gavir himself, who has doubled down and is, as he always is, wholly unapologetic and pretty proud of his position.

It is.

And politics really underlies so much of this.

So you do have a coalition, which includes Mr. Netanyahu's Likud party, a formidable right-wing party here.

But in order to maintain power, he's had to embrace coalition parties who are much more extreme, much more far right, and led by firebrand politicians.

There are two of them, Betele Smotrich

is the finance minister.

He's a man of very strong opinions.
