On social media, the EU Ambassador to Israel, Emanuele Giaufret, has unabashedly promoted his meetings with some of Israel’s most racist and pro-annexation politicians, many of whom are actively working to destroy the two-state solution that Giaufret is meant to promote; one such politician, the pro-settler Tzipi Hotovely, is now Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom. This Western acceptance of the government’s hardcore approach in recent years proves to Netanyahu that bringing such extremists onboard will quickly be tolerated.


Still, Ben-Gvir’s likely alliance with Netanyahu should serve as a wake-up call to the international community. To all those in Washington, Brussels, London, Ottawa, Canberra, Berlin, and others who claim that they “share values” with Israel: you should seriously rethink your approach. So far, you have simply contributed to a reality whereby racist settlers like Ben-Gvir have become successful political tools to deny human rights, and to prevent any prospects of a just and lasting peace. The world should refuse to embrace any Israeli government that rejects the basic principles of international law and full equality for all.
