Nétanyahou’s Fall: The Longer They Stay, the Harder it Becomes
Benjamin Netanyahu’s grip on power in Israel is weakening.
After 12 years in office, the prime minister is facing a series of corruption charges, a divided coalition government and a resurgent opposition.
Netanyahu's approval ratings have been falling in recent months, and a recent poll showed that a majority of Israelis believe he should step down.
Netanyahu is facing a number of challenges, including:
- A series of corruption charges. Netanyahu has been accused of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. He has denied all of the charges, but the allegations have damaged his reputation.
- A divided coalition government. Netanyahu's Likud party is the largest party in the Knesset, but it only has a slim majority. This makes it difficult for Netanyahu to pass legislation and govern effectively.
- A resurgent opposition. The opposition parties in the Knesset have been united in their opposition to Netanyahu. They have been calling for his resignation and have been working to build a coalition to replace him.
Netanyahu's fall from power would be a significant event in Israeli politics.
He has been one of the most dominant figures in Israeli politics for decades, and his departure would create a vacuum at the top of the country's leadership.
It is unclear who would replace Netanyahu as prime minister. Several potential candidates have emerged, but none has the same level of experience or support as Netanyahu.
Netanyahu's fall from power would also have a significant impact on Israel's relations with the United States. Netanyahu has been a close ally of US President Donald Trump, and his departure could lead to a cooling of relations between the two countries.
