Of course it is not the only cause, but it does play a role in the ongoing cruelties and atrocities committed by the Israeli Defence Force in Gaza (غزة, עזה), in response to the 7 October 2023 killings, maimings, rapings and abductions by Hamas (حماس, חמאס): the Israeli voting system. It is similar to the one in the Netherlands, and results in lots of smaller parties in the Knesset (كنيست, כנסת), and in great difficulty in forming a majority coalition.
This means Likud depends on extremist parties, and therefore takes harsher measures than it alone would probably take.
Solutions have been proposed, but are unlikely to ever be implemented anywhere.
