Lucy Kurtzer-Ellenbogen- Israel, Post Netanyahu

Love him, hate him, but you cannot dismiss him. Netanyahu shaped the political and social panorama of Israel forever. A strong unapologetic man of many dimensions that sought world recognition for Israel and often limelight for himself. Twelve years of Netanyahu have come abruptly to an end. Bittersweet for his staunch supporters, and “about time” for his enemies. He took on Israel’s foes and critics vigorously and deflated accusations like a smooth Teflon pan. But through it all, he did it his way.

So, what’s in store for Israel post-Netanyahu? It will not be a cakewalk. The problems that plagued the country during Netanyahu’s term are not disappearing overnight. The new government is like a thin sheet of ice, it will only take a small crack to break. How is Bennet going to move forward?
