Benjamin Netanyahu has dominated the political landscape in Israel for more than two decades but, almost one year after regaining the role of prime minister, an unprecedented attack by Hamas on Saturday looks set to shake his grip on power. In a speech late Wednesday, Netanyahu vowed to destroy the Palestinian militant group. "Every Hamas terrorist is a dead man," he said, hours after forming an emergency government and wartime cabinet.
The shock attack by Hamas on Saturday has claimed over 1,000 lives in Israel and has set the stage for a new era in Israel-Palestine relations and Israeli politics.
