Yep, Smotrich (Snot rich) is one of the worst of Netanyahu's terrorist chums. To link..
[...]Netanyahu’s Betrayal of Democracy Is a Betrayal of Israel [...]This government that speaks in the name of the Torah desecrates the name of Judaism. This government that speaks in the name of the Jewish people risks tearing apart the relationship between Israel and the Jewish diaspora. This government that speaks in the name of the Israeli ethos is the greatest threat to the ethos that binds Israelis together. This government that speaks in the name of Israeli security is a gift to those seeking to isolate the Jewish state and portray it as criminal.
No Israeli government has had more ministers convicted of crimes or under indictment. None has had such disregard for our national institutions, dismantling ministries and distributing the pieces like spoils of war. No other government has shown such disdain for basic standards of decency. No other government has declared war on the judicial system, which even the U.S. lawyer Alan Dershowitz, a Netanyahu ally, has called the gold standard that should not be tampered with.

Despite warnings that Israel’s economy may be threatened by his fast growing, often unemployed, community, he does not want a job. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-ultraorthodox-economy-idUSTRE73D25W20110414 ] [...] This is Israel’s first post-state government. The open contempt for the political system that Netanyahu and his Likud Party colleagues in the Knesset have displayed over the past year—boycotting the Parliament’s committees and turning plenary sessions into staged scenes of mockery, encouraging thugs to harass the families .. https://www.timesofisrael.com/shaked-to-get-extra-security-amid-threats-to-yamina-traitors-for-joining-lapid/ .. of right-wing Knesset members who dared join the previous Bennett-Lapid government—was a mere rehearsal for the current assault on the nation’s institutions.
Not even the most binding Israeli institution, the military, is safe. The coalition has installed .. https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-appoints-smotrich-de-facto-pm-of-the-west-bank-gambles-on-restraining-him/ .. Bezalel Smotrich, the leader of the extremist Religious Zionist Party, as a kind of alternative, shadow minister in the Defense Ministry. The coalition intends to remove the border police, the unit that most closely oversees the Palestinian population, from IDF authority and place it under the command of the far-right leader Itamar Ben-Gvir, a man who despises moral restraint. For Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, the IDF has been corrupted by what the right regards as Western morality, by weakness and defeatism. The camaraderie at the core of the IDF, allowing Israelis across the political spectrum to serve together, means little to them.
That is why right-wing members of the Knesset taunt Yair Golan, a former deputy chief of staff of the IDF and a left-wing politician, as a virtual traitor.
