The appointment of Yechiel Leiter as Israel's ambassador to the U.S. signals Netanyahu's alignment with a hardline agenda, especially with the incoming Trump administration.
Leiter's background as a hardcore settler leader and his connection to the extremist Jewish Defense League highlight a shift towards radical policies in Israeli governance.
The move to appoint Leiter was unexpected as the previous ambassador, Michael Herzog, still had a year left on his term, indicating a strategic maneuver.
Leiter's longstanding involvement with settlement movements in the West Bank showcases a commitment to the annexation agenda that has characterized far-right political rhetoric.
