He also believes that Israel is a small country according to his stature, but he wants to bring it to a strong position on the world map.
Criticism of Netanyahu
Although Netanyahu's supporters consider him a strong and determined leader, he has also been criticized many times, especially during military operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, a large number of people have died during the conflicts led by him, due to which he has faced criticism internationally.

Churchill never believed in the leadership abilities of indians during World war II and believed that indians could not run their country properly. His policies led to the terrible bengal famine of 1943, which killed millions of people. Although Netanyahu is seen as Churchill, israel has faced many challenges during his leadership, including civilian casualties.
