Benjamin Netanyahu: Leading the Way for Israel

Benjamin Bibi Netanyahu has the distinction of being elected Israel s youngest prime minister, as well as its longest serving prime minister, with the exception of Israel s first prime minister, David Ben–Gurion. Netanyahu has puzzled and surprised both his supporters and critics. He has experienced success, failure, and then success again. Through it all, Netanyahu has consistently fought for a strong Israel—militarily, politically, and economically. Netanyahu was born into an actively Zionist family whose own history mirrors that of Israel, her strengths and her struggles. A son, brother, scholar, soldier, and politician—each of these roles have shaped the leader Bibi is today.
