Israel's longest-serving prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is back in office - but at what cost to himself and the country that he helped to create?
"Netanyahu defines what Israel is today, its contradictions and challenges. But Netanyahu is no longer leading Israel." -Anshel Pfeffer
This issue of The Jewish Quarterly charts the rise and fall of Benjamin Netanyahu, who clawed his way back to the leadership but risks destroying the legacy that he has spent a lifetime building.
Israeli journalist Anshel Pfeffer, author of the definitive biography of Netanyahu, explores the personal, psychological and political motivations that led Israel's longest-serving and scandal-prone prime minister to steer a new, dangerous course after returning to office on 29 December 2022.
With great insight and on-the-ground expertise, Pfeffer outlines Netanyahu's journey to power, the terrible compromises he has made over the course of his career, and how this master politician, for so many years synonymous with Israel, could have been blindsided by the massive protests unleashed by his government's radical legal reforms.
Above all, he asks the question- is Bibi at the height of his power, or does he have almost no power at all?
