In Israel, embattled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a pact with several far-right parties to form a new coalition ahead of elections in April. One of the groups, Otzma Yehudit, or Jewish Power, has been compared to the KKK for its racist, anti-Arab and homophobic beliefs. The party has called for annexing the occupied Palestinian territories, expelling Israeli Arabs and a ban on relationships between Jews and Arabs.

The group was formed by supporters of the fundamentalist Rabbi Meir Kahane. An earlier iteration of Otzma Yehudit was banned by Israel and designated a terror organization in the 1990s by both Israel and the U.S. The move was swiftly condemned, including by pro-Israeli government groups such as AIPAC and the Anti-Defamation League.
