Palestinian women have made great strides in literacy over the past two decades. The women’s literacy rate was 78.5 percent in 1995, but that rate has soared to a current level of 94.1 percent. Additionally, at the university level, girls’ enrollment matches that of boys, and girls are robustly represented in STEM fields as well.
However, girls’ education still has areas for improvement. A minority of Palestinian schools are coeducational, and overall, female students in Palestine tend to receive a lower quality of education than their male counterparts. Many male students go to private schools because their families expect them to become the primary breadwinners when they reach adulthood, often by working abroad. Female students, who are typically free from this expectation, do not receive the same educational opportunities. Families with limited resources tend to put most of their resources into their boys’ educations.
Especially in Gaza, where the unemployment rate is over 50 percent, the result is an astronomical unemployment rate among women — double that of men. The UN reports that most women who work in the public sector have minimal options, usually working in the fields of health or education. Outside the public sector, women have difficulty finding jobs that pay a living wage. Childcare, for example, might bring in only $100 a month. Women also take on unskilled work, such as domestic labor, cleaning and jobs on family agricultural operations, often for little to no pay.

Netanyahu reportedly makes his case of survival to Likud members by promising to stand up to the Biden admin on the day after war:
“I’m the only one who will prevent a Palestinian state. The U.S. was against a ground operation…”

So, based on Bibi's own words, anyone who insists Israel isn't planning on doing everything they can to prevent a Palestinian state from forming because they intend on annexing that territory and displacing it's inhabitants.
People who try to pretend otherwise can be dismissed as dishonest actors incapable of engaging in good faith.
I think we can all agree he needs to be removed. But like Putin it's up to his people to remove him.
Just like we waited for the Italians to deal with Mussolini and the Serbs to deal with Milošević?

Why do you want to compare Likud to the fascist authoritarians like them? Likud have been voted out before, Israel have had leaders who have tried to reconcile like Yitzhak Rabin.

Because Likud is an authoritarian, ethno-nationalist party that seeks the destruction of Palestine and has repeatedly engaged in ethnic cleansing actions against the Palestinian people in both Gaza and the West Bank, but the west is too cowardly to say enough is enough.
Beyond that, Likud isn't the only party that's a problem. The current Minister of National Security is Itamar Ben-Gvir, who's a member of an even more explicit far-right party who has also been convicted of supporting a terrorist organization Kach.
Both Kach and Otzma Yehudit are Kahanist parties. Kahanism and parties rooted in it are fairly described as theocratic and fascist in terms of ideology and intentions. They're quite open about their goal to expand the territory of Israel as well as their plans to displace non-Jews from the territory they seize.
Likud's coalition partners include several openly theocratic parties like Religious Zionist Party, Otzma Yehudit and Noam. Most of them are openly embrace Jewish supremacism as well. Likud and the coalition propping them up are people who deserve to be condemned based on what they stand for.
So yeah, I compare bloodthirsty fascists to bloodthirsty fascists.
