Although originally a member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, in recent years, he has increasingly aligned himself with the country’s liberal left. In May, he made international headlines when he said that he believed the Israeli Defence Forces are committing war crimes in Gaza and that “thousands of innocent Palestinians are being killed, as well as many Israeli soldiers”.
