Israel’s new farright government

Just over a month ago, Israeli politicians formed the most rightwing and anti-Arab government in the country’s history. Far-right and ultranationalist figures, such as the extremist settler Itamar Ben-Gvir, took ministerial positions. This comes as hope for a resolution for Palestinians living under occupation for more than half a century is at possibly the lowest point it has ever been, with peaceful Palestinian attempts to end the occupation having been repeatedly and successfully suppressed.
