On what may turn out to be his final weekend as Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing for one final fight to remain in power and extend his 12 consecutive years at Israel's helm.
Over the past week, Netanyahu has accused the man set to replace him, Naftali Bennett, of carrying out "the greatest election fraud in the history of the country" and establishing a "dangerous" government, in language that echoed former President Donald Trump's baseless claims following the 2020 US election. Netanyahu's Likud party softened the false claims of election fraud on Thursday, but only slightly.
