Benjamin Netanyahu, recognized as Israel’s longest-serving leader, is preparing for a challenging reelection campaign. His leadership has come under intense national scrutiny, particularly concerning his actions during and following the attacks on October 7.
Netanyahu faces additional pressure due to a constitutional crisis. This crisis involves significant tension between his government and the judiciary, raising critical questions about authority and governance within the nation.
