I found some additional details about a 19-year-old Israeli woman who was recorded by The Guardian stating the right-wing position on ethnic cleansing of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.
This was part of a series on younger Israelis who are shifting further to the right.

Q: Where was The Guardian's video of a blonde girl taken within the last week? Who was the girl who said (about Gaza):
“Israel is a Jewish state; we should take it because God commanded us to take it. Palestinians should go to any other Arab country; I don't really care, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria; those are ours. Or we'll kill them.”
Video
The clip was filmed by a journalist from The Guardian outside a political rally for far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s “Jewish Power” party in Tel Aviv. [1, 2]
Edit: What if we changed a few words:
Hmmm… interesting language. let’s change a few words and see how it looks:
“Germany is a christian state, we should take it because God commanded us to take it. Jews should go to any other European country, I don’t really care. Except Austria, Poland, and Netherlands, those are ours. Or we’ll kill them”.

More Details:
The Project: The interview is part of a newly released short documentary by The Guardian examining why a growing number of younger Israeli voters are shifting further toward the far-right ahead of the country’s elections. [1, 2]
The Statements: During the interview, Serwatien explicitly advocates for the total annexation and settlement of the Gaza Strip, stating that Palestinians must leave or be killed. When questioned on where they should go, she claims they can move to other Arab countries, explicitly excluding Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria because she believes “those are ours too” based on religious conviction.

Atara Serwatien: Meir Kahane was right
The California Courier (Armenian Newspaper) August 3, 2026.
Ramon used to take Israeli high-school students on field trips to Christian sites, but as students and their parents increasingly objected to those trips, most schools gradually stopped offering them. Ramon ended her tours in the mid-2000s.
Some Jewish extremists say they want Jerusalem’s churches destroyed or converted into synagogues. Among them is 19-year-old Atara Serwatien. “It should be a Jewish state,” she explained.
Similar hostility toward Christian images was on display during the recent war in Lebanon, where an Israeli soldier used a sledgehammer to smash a statue of Jesus.
Around half of Israelis believed that entering a church is forbidden, up from 10% in 2008, according to a poll published in September by the Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue, an Israel-based interreligious group.
A similar proportion of respondents said they considered Christianity a form of idolatry. These views were more common the younger the respondents got, and among more religious Israelis.
.. Anti-Christian behavior has tested the support of Israel’s staunchest allies in the U.S. When Mike Huckabee took over as U.S. ambassador to Israel last year, he was shocked to discover that evangelical Christian organizations were struggling to obtain visas. A strong supporter of Israel, Huckabee ran a tour company that brought thousands of Christian pilgrims to Israel and the West Bank and never had problems.
Huckabee went straight to Israel’s minister of interior, but the problem persisted, so he turned to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who finally helped release the visas.
Atara has since deleted her X.com account
Tim’s Comment:
While I recognize that Atara’s views are not representative of the whole Israeli electorate, they have held significant influence in Netanyahu’s government. We’ll see what this coming election holds for the future.
I was also struck by the fact that the younger generation is more extreme in their ultra-nationalism than older generations. This suggests that Israel can not easily “grow their way out” of extremism. I also note that even Mike Huckabee was finding that evangelical Christians were finding it difficult to obtain VISAs in Israel. What would it take to influence the perspective of evangelicals like Huckabee?
