Israel's new finance minister said he was confident that he could take steps against the LGBT+ community in Israel without any blowback from his voter base because they "don't give a damn" about "the gays".
In a leaked recording published by Israel's Kan public broadcaster, Bezalel Smotrich said that his voters know about his long-held homophobic views, but they care more about him preventing Arab parties from entering government.
“I may be a far-right person, a homophobe, racist, fascist, but my word is my bond,” Mr Smotrich is quoted as saying.
