Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office is once again ensnared in scandal after police arrested two of his close associates this week on suspicion of accepting money from Qatar to promote a positive image of the Gulf Arab state in Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel’s military is “switching gears” in Gaza, dividing and seizing more parts of the strip, a move experts say could mean Israel establishing deeper, more long-term control over the territory.
The visit comes as the Israeli prime minister faces an arrest warrant against him by the International Criminal Court.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the pressure on Gaza would increase until the remaining hostages were returned to Israel.
Naftalie Bennett, the last Israeli politician to unseat current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, hopes to do so again.
Eli Sharvit was a controversial choice after Israel’s prime minister fired his predecessor. Revelations that he wrote a column criticizing President Trump may have helped sink his chances.
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham expressed strong disapproval of Sharvit’s potential leadership, labeling the appointment as highly concerning due to Sharvit’s past statements regarding Trump.
