Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues in office despite three years of difficult conditions for Israelis, with multiple outlets suggesting his core support is not collapsing. The New York Times frames the question around how Netanyahu could “cling to power” and indicates that, even after setbacks, his base remains resilient.
The Jerusalem Post adds an interpretive angle, arguing that Netanyahu sustains loyalty by casting himself as indispensable for Israel’s protection. While this is presented as opinion rather than reporting, it aligns with the broader theme that supporters view his leadership through a protective and personal political bond, helping explain why support endures despite perceived failures.
