Column: Another resurrection story for the unsinkable Bibi Netanyahu (via latimesopinion)
Before there was Donald Trump there was Bibi Netanyahu. I first covered him in 1996 when he was running for prime minister of Israel. He was in his mid-40s then, a not-yet-proven leader, not considered in the same class with the grand old men of the nation, such as his opponent, Shimon Peres, or Yitzhak Rabin, who had recently been assassinated, or Gen. Ariel Sharon.
Over the years, I have lost count of how many political obituaries I have written about Netanyahu — and how many resurrection stories. Today’s column falls in the resurrection category.Israel’s Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Netanyahu, who is currently the country’s prime minister, may indeed form a new unity government, despite the fact that he is under indictment in three separate corruption cases.
At the moment, he’s weakened by the ongoing corruption cases, the most serious of which accuses him of trading official favors in return for positive news coverage.
