Can Benjamin Netanyahu survive Israel's next election? As new parties shake up the political landscape, Israelis will vote for the fourth time in two years in March. This comes as the government continues mass inoculations amid the country's third pandemic lockdown. 'Cruel government, social protest' — so read the Hebrew banners seen at this anti-Netanyahu protest in July 2020 Far fewer protesters have gathered outside the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu on this mild January evening than they did in summer. For more than six months now, anti-Netanyahu demonstrators and the prime minister's supporters have rallied here every week. Many see the snap election scheduled for March as yet another referendum on Netanyahu, who has been prime minister since 2009 and led the Likud party since 2005.
