A year ago, Benjamin Netanyahu’s long career at the top of Israeli politics looked like it was over. His government’s catastrophic failure to prevent the Oct. 7 attacks meant the only thing keeping him in office as prime minister, amid surging public grief and anger, was the need for stability in an emergency.
..Twelve months on, he has recovered his standing after ordering a series of audacious attacks on Iran-backed Hezbollah targets. The remote detonating of thousands of pagers and the assassination of the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, stunned observers around the world and boosted his popularity at home.
As a result, expect the anti-Bibi protestors to pick up their game after the holidays are over. Expect more protests, more placards with pictures of Bibi next to the worst dictators in the world, more media coverage of his non-existent trial and the message "He's guilty, it just hasn't been officially announced yet!"
