Benjamin Netanyahu

Israel's longest-serving prime minister is poised to return to office, even while on trial for corruption charges. He spoke with Morning Edition about his comeback and controversial coalition.

Naftali Bennett is poised to end Benjamin Netanyahu's 12-year run as Israel's prime minister. The hardline conservative and former settler leader once vowed that Palestinians would never have a state.

An improbable coalition of right-wing and left-wing parties in Israel is racing the clock to dethrone Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister.

Justices convened Sunday to begin discussions on whether the long-serving prime minister should be barred from office as he faces a series of corruption charges.

Retired army general Benny Gantz was tapped after a majority of 61 lawmakers in the 120-member Parliament told President Reuven Rivlin they supported Gantz over Netanyahu.

The country's longest-serving prime minister claimed his "biggest win," but his coalition again appears to lack enough support to form a government.

The Trump Mideast plan would recognize Israeli sovereignty over land Palestinians want for a future state, but the administration urged Israel to hold off.

President Trump declared that his "vision presents a win-win opportunity for both sides." Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has called it a "disastrous announcement."

In a televised speech, the prime minister called the charges against him "ridiculous libels." Polling suggests most Israelis oppose immunity, but the move could delay his trial.

It's a massive blow for the longtime leader — Israel's first sitting prime minister to be indicted. He stands accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, and has denied any wrongdoing.
