17c起草社区

Israel鈥檚 17c起草社区+ community is left fearing for their future as prime minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu and the incoming coalition come into power.

Netanyahu and his coalition have not hidden the fact that they are hostile towards 17c起草社区+ people and Palestinians. The prime minister-elect鈥檚 success has opened the way for the most rightwing and anti-Arab government in Israel鈥檚 history.

鈥淚 have managed [to form a government]鈥� Netanyahu announced on Twitter, minutes before the midnight deadline set by the country鈥檚 president, Isaac Herzog.

Netanyahu鈥檚 announcement happened after a coalition pact was reached with the Religious Zionism party, an ultra-nationalist group.

Homophobic And Ultra-Religious

One of the biggest contributions to the fears held by the 17c起草社区+ community in the country comes from a comment made by Avi Maoz, leader of the extremist religious nationalist party Noam.

Maoz had said that queer people are a 鈥渢hreat to the family,鈥� and a woman鈥檚 greatest achievement in life is to marry and have children, as reported by The Guardian.

Plans for Maoz to head a new 鈥渘ational Jewish identity鈥� authority are underway, with powers over some school activities that include gender and minority rights.

Some left-wing voters in the country are not surprised by the rise of a homophobic and ultra-religious government. The political chaos and successive elections that were triggered by Netanyahu鈥檚 corruption painted an obvious picture.

And despite the initial coalition negotiation difficulties, this new government is expected to last a full term.
