Israel Without Netanyahu

For three decades, Benjamin Netanyahu was the central figure of Israeli politics and one of the most consequential leaders in the modern Middle East. Israel's longest-serving prime minister, he shaped the lives of Israelis and Palestinians alike, and the fate of a region that went through war after war on his watch.

After the October 2026 Knesset election, his era appears to be drawing to a close.

Israel Without Netanyahu looks back over the whole of that life: his roots in a family of Zionist preachers and Revisionist thinkers, his early years as a commando, television advocate and UN ambassador, his ties to rabbis, donors and the wider Zionist cause, his rise against the Oslo Accords, and his long years in power - the Gaza wars, the transformation of the West Bank, the corruption trial, the October 7 attack and the wars that followed in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.

It then asks the question millions are now asking: what comes next? What will Israel become without him? What future is there for Gaza and the West Bank? Will the Middle East step back from permanent war - and what will the world take from the Netanyahu years?

A clear, detailed and accessible account of a life that changed a nation, a people and a region.
