Forget Trump — he just caddies for this guy. Like it or not, Benjamin Netanyahu is the 21st century's antihero

As he launches the unprecedented attacks against Iran, much seems to be going Netanyahu's way, from the decimation of both Hamas and Hezbollah leaders to the toppling of the Assad regime and softening of Arab regimes.

Israel's longest-serving prime minister, Netanyahu has repeatedly warned that Iran was looking to build nuclear weapons and wanted to turn them on Israel -- a small nation home to nearly half the world's Jews.

They died in their own beds. Hossein Salami and Ali Shamkhani—Iran’s most senior military officers and the stewards of Iran’s nuclear weapons program—had spent years threatening Israel with destruction.

The warning signs are flashing for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the Knesset prepares to vote later today on whether to dissolve his government.

US President Donald Trump should tell Israel's leader Benjamin Netanyahu "enough is enough", a former Israeli prime minister told AFP, denouncing the continuation of the war in Gaza as a "crime" and insisting a two-state solution is the only way to end the conflict.

The prosecution is proceeding very conservatively to score any points it can on Netanyahu, concerned that otherwise he could outfox them on the witness stand.

"By defending ourselves, we're also defending our Arab neighbors, our Arab friends in peace, Europe, [and] the United States, which helps us all the time in our defense."

Longest-serving prime minister. Mr Benjamin Netanyahu, a former member of an elite special forces unit responsible for some of Israel’s most daring hostage rescues, has dominated its politics for decades.

Obama administration officials scorned him, and years went by without an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear program. But Oct. 7 changed Israel and its leader, and the writing was on the wall
