	Description:		Bezalel Smotrich's views were once fringe in Israel. He's an ultranationalist West Bank settler, who has repeatedly called for Israel to resettle the Gaza Strip. Today, as finance minister, he's a key figure influencing the future of Israel's war against Hamas. NPR's Hadeel Al-Shalchi has the story of Smotrich's rise to power in Israel politics.
