Netanyahu Plots His Comeback

“Benjamin Netanyahu hopes to engineer his return to power by launching a ‘scorched-earth’ campaign, courting far-right voters and accusing rivals of being beholden to Islamists,” the Times of London reports.

“The former prime minister warned rivals when he was unceremoniously removed from power a year ago that he would return.”

“The collapse of the coalition of eight ideologically diverse parties that replaced him — led by Naftali Bennett, who began his career as Netanyahu’s chief of staff — was largely Netanyahu’s doing.”
