Political activity
Benjamin Netanyahu, whose biography is known to every second resident of Israel, has built a new form of relations with the Palestinians, which consists in the mutual fulfillment of obligations and the termination of cooperation in violation of this principle. He was able to conclude a Hebron agreement with the Palestinians in 1997, as a result of which he transferred 80% of the city to them.
In 1998, with the participation of US President Bill Clinton, he found a compromise with Yasser Arafat, as a result of which the Palestinians were able to get 13% of Judea, Samaria. These were areas adjacent to Palestinian cities, as well as areas with a large Palestinian population.
Benjamin Netanyahu supported free enterprise, as a result of this policy, he began to change the system of all taxation of the population and the redistribution of state benefits. He continued to develop such a political direction, being the Minister of Finance.

During his reign, economic and intercommunal disagreements intensified.

After that, he actively lectures at American universities, speaks out in political disputes from the position of an ordinary citizen of his country. In 2001, he refuses to participate in the election for the post of prime minister because of the Knesset, which refused to dissolve itself. He also announces his return to politics before the 2003 elections, but loses to Sharon in the election of the Likud party leader. Sharon then appoints Benjamin as Minister for Foreign Affairs, and then, after the 2003 elections, as Minister of Finance.

In this position, Netanyahu continues various economic reforms that have strongly affected the poor elements of society. In 2005, before the start of the disengagement plan, Benjamin Netanyahu left the government in protest and became the leader of the inner-party opposition. In 2005, Sharon with his supporters left the Likud and began to create the party Kadima. In the election of the head of the Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu won and became the head of the party, a candidate for the post of prime minister.
In 2006, the Likud won about 12 seats in the elections and refused to join the Ehud Olmert bloc. As a result of the creation of the government, Netanyahu is elected as the leader of the opposition. As a result of a survey of the social position after the Lebanese war, Benjamin Netanyahu is highly rated as a candidate for the position of prime minister. While at his post, Netanyahu spoke on all major issues of interest, as well as in other public forums.
Party activity
In the parliamentary elections in 2009, the Likud bloc, which was led by Benjamin Netanyahu, took the 2nd place and got the 27th place in parliament. President Shimon Peres instructed Benjamin Netanyahu to create a new government. Then Netanyahu offers Tzipi Livni to join the government of national unity. The main reason for Livni’s disagreement with joining the government was Netanyahu’s refusal to include the “2 countries for 2 peoples” program in the main government documents.
The new government that Netanyahu created was one of the largest in Israeli history. The government consists of thirty ministers, nine deputies from various parties. This is truly an innovation introduced by the prime minister.
