Episode Details

Israel has voted, Benjamin Netanyahu has lost his parliamentary majority — and he may still remain prime minister.

This week on News Weakly, Sami Shah looks back at Netanyahu’s thirty-year career: Yitzhak Rabin and the 1996 election, coalition deals, corruption charges, far-right allies, the October 7 security failure, Gaza, and an opposition that may now need Arab parties if it actually wants to remove him.

Netanyahu’s great political talent isn’t necessarily winning elections. It’s surviving the space between losing one and actually leaving office.
