A week ago Avi Dichter, a member of the Israeli security cabinet member and agriculture minister, said in a television interview: “We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba.” Netanyahu, warned cabinet ministers the next day to choose their words carefully.

Oops, did they accidentally say the quiet part out loud?

It’s like saying MTG represents the average American.

Who's saying the Israeli government represents the average Jewish person?

Who’s the “they” here?

No, I mean in the OP: “Oops, did they say the quiet part out loud?”

Who is the they if not Israelis?

I thought it was obvious due to OP literally dropping names: Avi Dichter, Netanyahu, cabinet members. The three have a lot in common but most would zero in on the fact they run the Israeli government. If you want to insist their most notable trait in this context is that they're Jewish... that's a choice.

How about the Israeli government? In this case specifically Netanyahu and Dichter. Since that’s what this article was about? I don’t think I gave any reason to think otherwise.

MTG doesn't hold a cabinet position. By design, she represents nobody but the clucklefucks in her district. Comparing her to someone who directly works for the PM is ridiculous.
