3 d. ago Gaza, Israel and the world are crying out for opposition to Netanyahu – now there are rays of hope | Aluf Benn

For years Netanyahu has divided and disrupted his opponents. But new leaders are beginning to organise• Aluf Benn is the editor-in-chief of HaaretzIn his successful quest to become Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has leveraged his most valuable asset: the country’s ineffective opposition. He has been playing his opponents off against each other, staying afloat while they are left powerless and irrelevant.Netanyahu has survived multiple corruption cases, an ongoing criminal trial and recurring elections.
