Quote of the Day

First of all, [Ben Gvir's] eligibility to be a coalition member and a minister was determined by none other than the Supreme Court, and they gave him complete clearance. That has to be understood. If they didn't, he wouldn't be here. That's the first point. The second point is the policy. The main policy or the overriding policy of the government is determined by the Likud and frankly, by me. I think I have more than a modest influence on it. I've been prime minister for 15 years, the longest serving prime minister of Israel. I’ve often heard these doom projections, but none of them materialized. I maintained Israel's democratic nature. I maintained Israel's traditions. This Israel is not going to be governed by Talmudic law. We're not going to ban LGBT forums. As you know, my view on that is sharply different, to put it mildly. We're going to remain a country of laws. I govern through the principles that I believe in.

  -- Prime Minister Elect Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview with journalist Bari Weiss

wait - what happened to his "full right government" with "full right wing policy"? All those full right wing coalition members are just arm candy because he is going to set the policies of the government far more moderate than what they would like?
