PM Benjamin Netanyahu has an insurance policy - it's called Israel's opposition – opinion

Whoever succeeds the current prime minister will need to preserve what he helped build, repair what he broke, and govern with a broad understanding of local and global politics

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political power now lies in the opposition, as previous rivals have struggled to establish themselves as viable alternatives. Despite the failures of his leadership, Netanyahu's economic reforms, strategic focus, and diplomatic achievements, such as the Abraham Accords, have contributed to transforming Israel into a regional military power and a global technology center.

Any potential successor must not only appeal to Israel's desire for change but also preserve what Netanyahu has built and govern at a higher level, demonstrating the ability to navigate both domestic and international challenges. This includes understanding and engaging with key players such as the United States, Arab nations, global markets, and a media landscape that does not align with Israeli perspectives.
