About our Benjamin Netanyahu News
Latest news on Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi), Israel's PM and Likud leader, covering politics, controversies and the ongoing Gaza war.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister who returned to power in December 2022, leads a right-wing coalition government during one of the most challenging periods in Israel's history. Currently serving his sixth term as prime minister, Netanyahu heads the Likud party and has been a dominant figure in Israeli politics for over 25 years.
Netanyahu faces multiple challenges in 2025, including managing the ongoing Gaza war that began after Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack, dealing with growing international pressure over civilian casualties, and addressing domestic protests over his handling of the conflict. In November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other officials over alleged war crimes. He also continues to face a criminal trial on corruption charges that began in 2020.
Known by his nickname "Bibi", Netanyahu has maintained significant public support throughout his career despite controversies. His leadership style combines hawkish security policies with free-market economic reforms. Netanyahu's relationship with key allies has evolved, particularly with the United States, where he has worked with multiple administrations from Clinton to Biden.
Netanyahu's political journey began in the 1980s when he served as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations. He first became prime minister in 1996, making history as Israel's youngest elected leader. His approaches to Palestinian relations and Iran's nuclear programme have significantly shaped Israeli foreign policy over the past decades.
