Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel’s longest serving prime minister but also one of the most divisive figures in Israeli politics.
He was facing huge protests from Israelis against his government long before the October 7 terrorist attacks, and now he is under growing pressure from both inside Israel and from his international allies over his Gaza strategy.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson takes a closer look at the man himself, how he has managed to survive so long at the forefront of Israeli politics and whether Gaza could change that.
Niall’s joined by our Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall as they discuss Netanyahu’s unpopularity, his record and stance on a two-state solution. Plus, Israeli political analyst Daliah Scheindlin on how long she thinks Israel’s PM can maintain his grip on power.
