He was removed in 2022 and barely got back in the last election (Current gov was elected with 49.5% of the voters). Plus for the last 2 years, the polls show the gov parties don't have nearly enough support to get reelected.
Problem is there's a high chance they'll interfere with the elections.

And this will have to come with some measures or support for deradicalized education and support for joint Palestinian-Israeli organizations that bring people together like Standing Together, Combatants for Peace, etc.

What you originally wrote doesn't imply only leaders.
The current leaders of Zionist parties that are part of the government are, Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Arie Deri. That's 2 Ashkenazis and 2 Mizrahis.

They voted for the Likud mostly because of the racism they experienced. That resulted in much more Mizrahi Jews in places of power and the shrinking of the gap between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews.
Justifiable or not, that clearly worked in their interest.

But clearly you're just looking to attack people, so I'm wasting my time.

You wrote it again, but do you mean Revisionist Zionism? I didn't pretend, as it's completely irrelevant.
You wrote that the hardcore Zionist tends to be European. You were corrected that it isn't true today.
You should clarify yourself if you meant something else.

The article points out Mizrahi are more right wing.
Likud's voters are still mostly Mizrahi, even if less Mizrahi are voting for them as compared to the past.
And it isn't the only right wing party or the most extreme one. Ben Gvir's party is worse and also has mostly Mizrahi voters.

I haven't managed to find the articles that talked about the last election in the context of Mizrahi Jews, but you can go through the last election result map and see the places where the Likud got the highest percentages are almost all Mizrahi dominated.

And vote against their interests in which way?

You mean Netanyahu's parents.
Where were Ben Gvir's parents from?

The majority of Likud, Shas and Ben Gvir voters are Mizrahi Jews.
Israeli Mizrahi Jews in general tend to be more right wing in general.

Arguably the non-PKK Kurds / Democratic Socialist state of Rojava (AANES). But they aren't an active part of the current situation.

Best case scenario for Syrian citizens, is if the Turkey-backed Sunni Islamist forces and the Shia Islamist / Assad regime / Russian / Iranian forces considerably dwindle each other's numbers and capabilities, with the Kurds swooping in at the end to help turn the rest of Syria into a Democratic Socialist state.
