My point is that Ben Gvir is a fringe element of the government and his views, while extreme, are not representative of the majority. I’m not sure why this is hard to understand. As blankall pointed out, the Israeli government is very fractured.
Frankly, I cringe whenever I see anything said by Ben Gvir or Smotrich.

I don’t see that as the implication at all.
When determining what the war is actually about, the beliefs of government officials that have direct influence are very relevant. It doesn’t mean to suggest it’s the prevalent view, but that even pro-war Israeli’s who think the war is just about eliminating Hamas might be wrong.
