Israel-Gaza conflict: Benjamin Netanyahu, the history behind the attacks, and what might be next

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the country’s longest serving prime minister; he has faced numerous flare-ups in violence with Palestinian militants, a cascade of elections, serious legal battles and chaotic street protests over his 16 years in office.

Netanyahu’s critics allege his legal reform proposals erode the country’s judicial independence and that he is steering the country's most right-leaning coalition government ever, as he faces ongoing trials for bribery and fraud.

As Global’s Redmond Shannon reports, this could be the greatest crisis Netanyahu has ever had to deal with.

Meanwhile, Farah Nasser speaks with Eurasia Group chairman Cliff Kupchan on what the latest escalations could mean and what lies ahead as the situation unravels.
