description: "Israel's longest-serving prime minister, now governing through genocide charges, an ICC arrest warrant, and wars across three borders. The attention stems from scale: decades in power, corruption indictments he won't step down for, and military campaigns that have made him unravelable from the question of what Israel is becoming."
tagline: "Prime Minister of Israel (born 1949), (1996–1999; 2009–2021; 2022–present)"

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Tel Aviv in 1949, Netanyahu served in Israeli special forces before studying at MIT and working in consulting. He became Israel's UN ambassador in 1984, then led Likud to victory in 1996 as Israel's first directly elected prime minister. Defeated in 1999, he returned to power in 2009 and stayed there longer than anyone else, tying himself to Trump, expanding settlements, and facing bribery and fraud indictments in 2019 that he refused to let unseat him. After brief removal in 2021, he returned in 2022 and pushed judicial reforms that brought mass protests. The October 7 Hamas attacks triggered the Gaza war; his government's conduct led to genocide accusations before the International Court of Justice and an ICC arrest warrant in November 2024. He has since launched strikes on Iran, invaded Lebanon twice, sent forces into Syria, and started a war explicitly aimed at regime change in Tehran.
