Benjamin Netanyahu is a survivor — something you might expect of a prime minister elected to six terms. But Netanyahu has never found himself in a no-win scenario. And if he escapes from his current dilemma, he should become known as “Bibi the Magician.”
Netanyahu was able to cobble together the right-wing parties in Israel into a shaky coalition that brought him the prime ministership but has yet to show that it can govern. To cement that coalition, the prime minister introduced a judicial reform bill desired by some of his coalition partners and was the primary reason they agreed to support Netanyahu as prime minister.
