They are extremely right-wing, extremely anti-Palestinian, and their designs were to expand illegal settlements in the West Bank.

And in some cases, while it was already a dire situation for Palestinians on the West Bank, nevertheless, there would be judicial orders which would sometimes get in the way of that.

That was another aspect of this.

Well, when Netanyahu tried to fix the judiciary, the country rose up.

And it was in a huge uproar over these changes, which were fundamentally undermining Israel's democracy.

Not too long after, of course, there was the terrible attack by Hamas on October 7th, which shocked Israel.

What people began to learn was that for years Netanyahu, again, I think as part of the way he sees the world and as part of a kind of more generalized sense of corruption, had been trying to modulate the relationship with Hamas and indeed had been allowing millions and millions of dollars to flow to Hamas from Qatar.

sometimes in bags of cash traveling through Israel.

And the reason he was doing that was to undermine the Palestinian authority on the West Bank in order to be able to allow for his right-wing coalition to get more and more territory via settlement.

beyond any sense of proportionality.

Now we have at least over 75,000 people dead.
