The prime minister of Israel is considered one of Israel’s great leaders and one of the free world’s finest statesman by countries like China, India, Russia and Africa, in addition to some European countries, and of course the USA. Many of them are seeking opportunities to cooperate with Israel on the international level. This is a great blow to the world movement that is trying to isolate and boycott Israel.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu has many international and domestic accomplishments. He succeeded in making Israel a secure and stable island in the stormy and unstable Middle East. He has secured Israel’s border and deterred other attacks from Gaza and Lebanon (the longest period of time of ceasefire on the border with Gaza in years.) Strengthened diplomatic relationships with China, India, Japan, Korea, Greece, and Bulgaria. Renewed relationships with African countries, and started peaceful relationships with Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries, by seeking an unofficial alliance between Israel and most of the moderate Arab nations, in dealing with the growing Iranian and Jihadi threats.
Under Netanyahu’s leadership, Israel is now in 18th place of countries in the UN HDI – Human Development Index (before countries like Japan, Belgium, France, Austria, Finland, Spain and Italy). Israel is a gas powered country and a leading nation in sea-water purification. The country is sought-after by other nations for high-tech and other development areas. Under his leadership, we are enjoying the highest tourism rate of all time.
Domestically the improvements are too many to list. Among them, building a wall on the southern border to stop illegal immigration from Africa. Increase in building roads, bridges and light trains throughout the country. Open sky policy to reduce airline rates. Reduced rates on public transportation, and an increase of minimum wages and salaries for the military and police. Ensuring domestic government coalition stability and the growth of the economy.
Netanyahu has stood his ground in defense policies through steadfastness, patience, being both flexible and firm. He was able to endure the difficult years of US President Obama, and is now cultivating a great relationship with current US President Trump.
An overwhelming majority of Israelis ascribe the last decade of stability and triumph to Netanyahu’s leadership. He is not perfect, but most Israelis don’t see anyone else who can better serve Israel’s strategic needs.
