Experts say the latest confrontation has laid bare growing divisions between the two leaders.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent spat with President Trump over Lebanon underscored how his military objectives, and possibly his political survival, are dependent on a U.S. president who doesn't share his appetite for escalation.

As Trump clamps down on Netanyahu, the Israeli leader is finding he has few avenues of appeal among American politicians.

A coalition run like a mafia, based on fear, personal loyalty, and proof of allegiance, cannot properly serve the public interest because its first priority is protecting the leader, not the country.

The fighting overnight between Israel and Iran has deepened the political peril in which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finds himself.

A small episode this week crystallized the broader pathology of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu more clearly than any grand speech or ideological argument ever could: the Knesset vote for state comptroller, one of the most sensitive institutional positions in Israeli public life.

Netanyahu’s rise marked the beginning of a new political age in Israel, one defined by sound bites, self-promotion, and lasting consequences.

After years of conflict, one question hangs over Netanyahu’s legacy: How much destruction can a leader justify in the name of security before the pursuit of security itself becomes indistinguishable from the pursuit of power?

The question for the Gulf states is whether they are happy for Israel to be the dominant player in the Middle East.
