  "account": "Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has been in the spotlight recently due to his UN address where he defended Israel's military operations in the Middle East. Born on October 21, 1949, in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu spent part of his adolescence in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, after his family moved to the U.S. in the early 1960s. Known as \"Ben\" in school, he ranked fourth in his class of 534 students at Cheltenham High School in 1967 before enrolling at Yale University, though he did not attend. After serving in the Israel Defense Forces, Netanyahu studied architecture and business at MIT. His time in Pennsylvania, where he was immersed in American culture while maintaining strong ties with Israel, greatly influenced his political career which has been marked by controversy.",
  "summary": "Before becoming Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu spent his teenage years in Pennsylvania’s suburbs.",
