If anyone is curious on the types of groups Netanyahu is courting for his attempt at a coalition government, and whether things will get worse or better in the near future:

Appealing to New Hope chairman Gideon Sa'ar and Naftali Bennett, chairmen of New Hope and Yamina respectively, Smotrich appealed to them not to "throw your right-wing ideology away by joining the ranks of those who are inciting violence against Jews. We have to construct a strong, right-wing Jewish Zionist government that will reform the justice system, where we can bring together the whole country without security threats from both right and left. Put them [Arab lawmakers and the left] outside the border and reinforce that Jews will manage the Jewish state."

...

Earlier, Smotrich also called on police to shoot Palestinians who throw stones on Monday as clashes between Muslim worshippers and Jews continued in Jerusalem, in the latest round of the ongoing violence which has convulsed the country in recent weeks.

“Maybe if you understood that the stones are not thrown by themselves but that there are terrorists who throw them, and these terrorists have a center of mass into which live fire can be directed, maybe then fewer stones will be thrown,” Smotrich wrote, in a tweet addressed to the Israel Police.

“But the truth is that the blame is not on the Israeli police but on a political echelon that has been castrating the defense and police system in the fight against the Arab enemy for years,”

Rising to defend Eliyahu, Smotrich tweeted that “a true Muslim needs to know that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, and over time Arabs like you who don’t recognize that will not remain here. Rabbi Shmuel and his multitude of followers, us among them, will make sure of that.”

An attorney who has defended Israeli settlers implicated in violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, Ben-Gvir was convicted in 2007 of inciting racism after holding signs at a protest reading “Expel the Arab enemy”.

Until last year he kept a photo in his living room of Baruch Goldstein, an American-Israeli settler who in 1994 shot dead 29 Palestinians in Hebron as they held morning prayers.

His party, Jewish Power, is formed of ideological successors to Meir Kahane, a US-born rabbi who served one term in Israel’s parliament in 1984 before his Kach party was banned. Kahane advocated for a Jewish theocracy, the expulsion of Palestinians and a ban on marriage between Jews and Arabs.

Years earlier, having set up the militant Jewish Defense League, he was imprisoned for bomb-making in the US. Kahane was assassinated in 1990 by an Egyptian-born American gunman. The FBI regards the Jewish Defense League as a rightwing terrorist group after two members attempted to bomb a California mosque.

Ben-Gvir has claimed that Jewish Power is “not a continuation” of Kahane’s ideology but has said he considered the man “a holy saint who fought wars for the people of Israel and was killed sanctifying God’s name”.

With anti-LGBT party Noam set to send a representative into the Knesset for the first time through the Religious Zionism party, Channel 12 on Wednesday aired recordings of the party’s spiritual leader, Rabbi Tsvi Tau, speaking out against the gay community and expressing hope of gaining a foothold in the Israeli parliament.

The recordings, made in the weeks leading up to the election, include Tau telling followers that “these homosexuals, these perverts, are miserable people. We want the voice of truth and the voice of faith and the voice of Torah to sound [in the Knesset], and for someone there to cry out all the time… someone who will not rest until this thing is off the agenda.”

Question anyone who tells you there are "good guys" and "bad guys" when discussing the Israeli government and Hamas.
