The Spin

Narrative A

No matter what Netanyahu and his government claim to have achieved during his record-breaking time in office, the legacy of Israel's Prime Minister will always be in the shadow of corruption. With the United States and many other global actors beginning to question Netanyahu's — and thus Israel's — strength, ability, and viable posterity, Jerusalem must begin to look in a new direction with urgency.

Narrative B

Netanyahu continues to fight back against these fabricated charges, all of which have no evidence to support them other than pre-planned accusations from government employees. This trial must go on for Netanyahu and his supporters to highlight why Israel's judicial system is in dire need of reform. Ironically, this merely portrays the disingenuous nature of the anti-Netanyahu media sphere rather than the Prime Minister himself.
