From The Economist.

Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, says he wants to be remembered as a leader who helped secure the country’s future. With three stretches in office under his belt, is he succeeding? Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, and Edward Carr, deputy editor, travelled to Jerusalem to sit down with the prime minister. They ask him about the war in Gaza and his loss of public opinion, at home and abroad.
