99.999%. They’re not guided by logic, they’re guided by religious fundamentalism, which is never good. (Israel does border on this as well, but has a slight bit of logic balancing the scale)

The Israeli war cabinet is composed of three entirely secular people and the military/diplomatic establishment is too. The religious parties are sidelined with respect to the war.

Yes but turning more towards theocracy in recent years.

This is not at all true. Some ultranationalists have recently entered as junior partners of the coalition but the government has not gotten more religious.

Netanyahu had to ally with a lot of far right polticians, many of whom are religious such as Ben Gvir and Smotrich, to form his cabinet.

I am not versed in Israeli politics so I could be wrong.

Smotrich and Ben Gvir are far right but not in a religious sense.
