At the beginning of this 12 months Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was dealing with a political disaster. Only a few months earlier than, Hamas had breached Israel’s border with Gaza, killing some 1200 individuals in Israel on October seventh.
Because the 12 months ends, Netanyahu is spending a few of it in a courtroom to battle corruption costs which have dogged him since 2019. The Israeli Prime Minister has known as the fees absurd.
