Netanyahu's Partisan Streak has Paid off, but for how Long?

Associated Press

   JERUSALEM - In the eyes of critics, Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to
   bar two Democratic congresswomen at the request of President Donald
   Trump is the latest reckless gamble by a prime minister willing to
   sacrifice Israel's national interests for short-term gain.

   The move infuriated Democrats and risked turning Israel into even more
   of a partisan issue at a time when Americans are fiercely divided and
   Trump faces a tough fight for re-election.

   And yet the pursuit of such allegedly short-sighted policies has kept
   Netanyahu and his Likud party in power for more than a decade, making
   him the longest-serving leader in Israel's history. The latest move,
   popular among his right-wing base, comes as he seeks an unprecedented
   fourth term in next month's elections.
