Delve into the complex and controversial political journey of Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, a key figure in Israeli politics for over four decades. Serving as the prime minister of Israel for a total of over 16 years, Netanyahu has left an indelible mark on the nation's history.

From his early days in the Israel Defense Forces, where he became a team leader in the elite Sayeret Matkal special forces, to his role as an economic consultant and founder of the Yonatan Netanyahu Anti-Terror Institute, Netanyahu's career has been marked by military service and economic endeavors. The narrative explores his rise to political prominence as the chairman of Likud, leading to his historic election as the first Israeli prime minister directly chosen by popular vote in 1996. Netanyahu's leadership, characterized by a strong stance on security issues, economic reforms, and international relations, is examined against the backdrop of Israel's dynamic political landscape. The book also delves into the challenges Netanyahu faced, including defeats in elections, disagreements over policy, and legal issues. His closeness to former U.S. President Donald Trump and the consequential geopolitical developments, such as the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the Abraham Accords, are explored. However, the narrative doesn't shy away from controversy, addressing international criticism over Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Netanyahu's indictment on charges of breach of trust, bribery, and fraud.

The book culminates with Netanyahu's role in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Israel-Palestine crisis, as well as the subsequent political developments leading to his removal from office and return as prime minister after the 2022 election.

The gripping account offers a comprehensive understanding of Netanyahu's political legacy and the intricate dynamics of Israeli governance.
