OK. By the way Israel always has coalition governments so there are several parties in this coalition although the largest component is Likud. The war cabinet is only Likud and National Unity (party led by Benny Gantz).
They don't care about that kind of stuff in here
I guess that is like trying to discuss who the trainer of the football team is with a guy in the grandstand who just wants to throw beer cans at the opposition.
In his book “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine,” Pappe examines the development of a master plan for the massive expulsion on the Palestinians. Officially, the Israeli government maintains the claim that Palestinians became refugees because their leaders told them to leave. “But,” he writes, “there was no such call—it is a myth created by the Israeli foreign ministry… What is clear is that the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians can in no way be justified as a ‘punishment’ for their rejecting a U.N. peace plan that was devised without any consultation with the Palestinians themselves.”
The State of Israel was founded on the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and has continued (at a slower pace) both within Israel since 1948 and in the occupied territories and east Jerusalem since 1967.
Personally I'd recommend books by Historian Ilan Pappe for a real deep dive, but this video by GDF, which is definitely biased but well sourced, isn't half bad either https://youtu.be/jBHAitSKtVs?si=qUtJAkNuOB4nVXL_
