BENJAMIN Netanyahu is the longest-serving prime minister Israel has had, as well as its most disastrous for Jews and Palestinians alike.

The Gaza Strip has faded somewhat from global consciousness but remains in desperate shape with no clear path forward, while the West Bank endures brutal attacks by settlers that create a widening chasm between Israel and the rest of the world. All this is Netanyahu’s legacy.
