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.

He's been a little more muted recently, whereas Ben Gavir, who is very far right nationalist by any standards, has become ever more forthright, including recently pushing through parliament legislation that makes the death penalty

the default penalty for Palestinians and only Palestinians who are found guilty of certain terrorism offenses.

And he celebrated that decision with champagne and with a badge showing a sort of golden noose.

This is a man who never backs down and says things that here and even in Israel, a country that's becoming ever more right-wing in its outlook, a lot of people find him wholly unpalatable.

Well, they are going to be deported.

Netanyahu in his statement yesterday made it clear that he wants these people out.
