Benjamin Netanyahu: Israels politically influential leader

Return of a polarizing figure

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is back in power, after winning the 2022 Israeli elections. Netanyahu is a controversial figure, with supporters and detractors alike. His return to power is sure to have a major impact on Israel's domestic and foreign policies.

Netanyahu was born in Tel Aviv in 1949. He studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University, and served in the Israeli military. After working in the private sector, Netanyahu entered politics in the 1980s. He served as Prime Minister from 1996 to 1998, and again from 2009 to 2021.

Netanyahu is a polarizing figure. His supporters admire his strong leadership and his commitment to Israel's security. His detractors criticize his policies, which they say are divisive and harmful to Israel's democracy.

Netanyahu's return to power is likely to have a major impact on Israel. He has promised to pursue a number of policies, including expanding settlements in the West Bank, annexing parts of the West Bank, and reforming the judiciary.

It remains to be seen how Netanyahu will implement these policies, and what the consequences will be. However, his return to power is sure to have a major impact on Israel's domestic and foreign policies.
