Netanyahu's Political Challenges
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing political challenges, including a criminal trial and criticism for his handling of the recent military campaign in Gaza. The attack on October 7, which resulted in the death of 1,400 Israelis, has brought scrutiny to Netanyahu's leadership. His tweet blaming his defense chiefs for the attack, later retracted, added to the perception that he is more focused on his political career than taking responsibility. Security officials have also warned that his domestic policies have caused political turmoil and weakened the country's security.
