Netanyahu leans on old playbook to cast himself as Israel's protector
Original: Using old election playbook, Netanyahu projects image as Israel's protector despite Hamas attack
Benjamin Netanyahu is returning to familiar campaign tactics, presenting himself as the guardian of Israel's security even after the Hamas attack of October 7 shook the country's confidence in his leadership. Reuters reports that the veteran prime minister is using his long-standing image as Israel's protector as he navigates the political fallout, raising questions over whether voters will accept that framing after the worst security failure in the country's history.
Why now: Netanyahu is actively campaigning and his security-based messaging after the Hamas attack is politically contentious.
