Two far-right Israeli ministers have threatened to quit and collapse the governing coalition if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agrees to a Gaza ceasefire proposal unveiled by US President Joe Biden on Friday.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said they were opposed to striking any deal before Hamas was destroyed.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid has pledged to back the government if Mr Netanyahu supported the plan.

The prime minister himself insisted there would be no permanent truce until Hamas’s military and governing capabilities were destroyed and all hostages released.

      He’s not just a fascist…

      He’s a full on terrorist, literally, convicted and everything

      The 12th of Heshvan tolerance organization, together with several individuals, petitioned the court against Ben Gvir’s appointment in December 2022, arguing that it was unreasonable due to his ongoing alleged involvement in efforts to disturb the peace, as well as his criminal past, including convictions for incitement to racism and supporting a terror organization.

      This dude has been an extremist since he was a teenager.

      And for those Christians that just hate Muslims more so they support Israel here:

      In early October 2023, following the arrest of 5 ultra-Orthodox Heredi Jews for spitting at Christians and outside churches, Ben-Gvir said it was “not a criminal case” following arrests.[60] Prior to entering politics, he defended Jews spitting at Christians as “an ancient Jewish custom”.[61] After the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023, Ben-Gvir said that “Israel is experiencing one of the most difficult events in its history. This is not the time for questions, tests and investigations.”
