The longest Netanyahu administration finally resigned on suspicion of corruption

Prime Minister Netanyahu led a long-term administration for a total of 15 years, the longest in Israeli political history.



He took a tough position on the Palestinian issue and built a honeymoon relationship with former US President Donald Trump, who took a policy closer to Israel, and gained support from the right wing in the country, but in the end his allegations of corruption were criticized.
