This is a Jewish Israeli extremist.

... who teaches at a yeshiva that gets its funding from the Israeli government.... guess he's not so extreme he can't get government funding. Embarrassing. Even in the relatively thoughtless USA we would cancel that sponsorship in a second.

Do Israeli institutions not have mechanisms to dismiss officials who vocalize rhetoric like this?

No clue. I'm just pointing out the existing association. He could be 1 in 1000 or he could be in 1 in 4.

Actually those yeshivas to get funding from Israeli government are more likely to be extremist.

Israeli democracy often resembles more of a Jewish "theocracy" I say that as a former Israeli voter. There is a huge coalition of religious politicians that work together to keep money flowing to the orthodox haredi voters whonare invaluable to them.
