Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, has reportedly been nominated by Netanyahu as Gallant’s replacement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Katz

On peace and security matters, Katz is considered to be a hardliner in the Israeli government. He takes an annexationist view of the West Bank: he supports continued settlement construction, extending full Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, and severing all relations with the Palestinian Authority. He opposes the two-state solution and the creation of a Palestinian state in any form, which he regards as unacceptable considering "our rights to this land".

In March 2016, Katz argued that Israel should employ "targeted civil eliminations" against leaders of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). The expression puns on the Hebrew word for targeted assassinations.

I wonder what a "softline" is for a member of the Israeli government
