    Wondering what their definition of “far right” is?

    From the article: “Mr Netanyahu is also currently on trial for alleged bribery, fraud and breach of trust - charges he fiercely denies. His possible partners in a Likud-led coalition government have said they would reform the law, in a move which would bring a halt to his trial.”

    While those in the mainstream media do overuse that term, in this case, Netanyahu's party's biggest coalition partner is led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, who seems to fit the bill:

    "He was barred as a teenager from serving in the Israeli Army because he was considered too extremist. He admires a hard-line rabbi who wanted to strip Arab Israelis of their citizenship. Until recently, he hung a portrait in his home of Baruch Goldstein, who shot dead 29 Palestinians in a West Bank mosque in 1994." - https://archive.ph/PPUvH
