==Early Life and Education==
Raised in [[Jerusalem]], Benjamin Netanyahu received his high school education in the United States when he moved with his parents to Cheltenham, [[Pennsylvania]], a suburb of [[Philadelphia]]. To this day Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks fluent English with a Philadelphia American accent. Even as an adult, he is often referred to as his boyhood nickname "Bibi".<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/2009/02/20/idUSL8592809 FACTBOX-Five facts about Benjamin Netanyahu] Reuters, February 20, 2009</ref> Additionally, Netanyahu's father was a professor of Jewish history at [[Cornell University]]. He returned to Israel in 1967 and enlisted in the [[Israeli Defense Forces]] and participated in the [[Yom Kippur War]], where he reached the rank of captain. Netanyahu would go on to continue to live in the United States when he received a bachelor's degree in architecture from the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] in 1975, a master's degree in business management from MIT, and would go on to study political science at MIT and [[Harvard University]].

'''Operation Isotope'''
Netanyahu was a 22-year-old commando in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit who participated in—and was wounded during—the rescue of [[Sabena Flight 571]] on 9 May 1972.
Role and Injury: Netanyahu was a team leader during the assault. As he was subduing one of the female hijackers, another commando (Marko Ashkenazi) accidentally discharged his weapon. The bullet passed through the terrorist and struck Netanyahu in the arm, resulting in a friendly fire injury.<ref>

After multiple elections resulting in failure to form a coalition government (with neither the left-wing nor the right-wing coalition parties having the necessary 61 votes to form one), in June 2021 a group of left-wing, right-wing, and centrist political parties—all united solely by their personal dislike of Netanyahu—formed a coalition government which forced Likud and its coalition partners out of power. Netanyahu subsequently came back to power in December 2022 after this coalition collapsed.

In December 2021, after Netanyahu, like all foreign leaders had recognizing Biden, Trump publicly attacked Netanyahu, claiming that the latter was never interested in peace and was an impediment to the former's Middle East policy.
