In Israel, Anger At Netanyahu Getting Louder
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spent a career defying political gravity. Now he's facing his biggest challenge yet.
For decades, Netanyahu has sold himself as a leader who would keep Israelis safe.
Instead, one of the world's strongest militaries failed to protect its citizens from a long-planned, Mad Max style invasion - with attackers from Gaza coming in on motorcycles, pickup trucks and hang gliders. Israeli authorities say 1,200 people were killed October 7th and more than 200 taken hostage.
Netanyahu promised an investigation after the war with Hamas, but public outrage has grown louder in recent days.
Now as public outrage grows in Israel, Netanyahu's future seems all but certain. And that future is inseparable from the future of Israel's war with Hamas, or an eventual peace in Gaza.

The Far Right Rises in Israel
This week, Israel swore in a new Parliament, paving the way back to power for former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even as he is on trial for corruption. Now, the country is on the cusp of its most right-wing government in history.
Who and what forces are behind these events in Israeli politics?
Guest: Patrick Kingsley, the Jerusalem bureau chief for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- To win election, Mr. Netanyahu and his far-right allies harnessed perceived threats to Israel’s Jewish identity after ethnic unrest and the subsequent inclusion of Arab lawmakers in the government.
- The rise of the Israeli far right has stoked fear among some Palestinians of a surge of violence.
