Some reason to be worried about saying this publicly?Israeli president Isaac Herzog has said “the whole world is worried” about the far-right views of Itamar Ben-Gvir, who appears set to become a minister in Benjamin Netanyahu’s new coalition government [...] following the victory of his right-wing alliance in last week’s election.

Last week’s election saw Netanyahu end a stalemate after five elections in less than four years.

“You have a partner who the entire world around us is worried about. I have also said this to him. This is really not for publication. I don’t want to cause problems,” Herzog said on a live mic about Ben-Gvir at the end of the meeting.

And they'll be eager to see Trump in the White House in 2025.Ben-Gvir, who was convicted in 2007 of racist incitement against Arabs and backing a group considered by Israel and the United States to be a terrorist organisation, supports Jewish prayer at the sacred compound [the Temple Mount], challenging the historic status quo.

The ultranationalist politician – who wants to be police minister – has raised alarm among Palestinians and Israel’s Arab neighbours who fear his inclusion in government could stoke Middle East tensions.

Ben-Gvir’s party, the Religious Zionists, doubled the number of seats it holds in the Knesset to 14 in last week’s election. Their success has been credited with cementing support for Netanyahu’s far-right bloc in parliament. The new government is likely to be one of the most right-wing in the state’s history.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
