In the beginning of this 12 months Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was dealing with a political disaster. Just some months earlier than, Hamas had breached Israel’s border with Gaza, killing some 1200 individuals in Israel on October seventh.
Because the 12 months ends, Netanyahu is spending a few of it in a courtroom to combat corruption expenses which have dogged him since 2019. The Israeli Prime Minister has referred to as the costs absurd.
You would possibly suppose that may be detrimental to his political profession, however as an alternative Netanyahu appears to be like stronger than he has for the reason that battle started.
