Bibi’s Michael Corleone Moment
Despite being under investigation for corruption and leading a government engaged in an existential war for Israel’s survival, Benjamin Netanyahu has never held a stronger hand in his 30-plus years in politics. Israel’s military campaign has featured a relentless series of targeted assassinations, resembling Michael Corleone’s methodical settling of scores in the The Godfather saga. The collapse of Syria’s autocratic government strengthens Bibi’s hand even further. This is truly Bibi’s Michael Corleone moment.
