          Geopolitics is complicated. There's likely many middle eastern politicians who've been waiting behind the scenes for the US and Isntreal's position to weaken before they make any antagonistic moves against a highly aggressive world power.

    her wiki paints a picture of the sort of person who would be into someone like Bibi. all of the following references to "Netanyahu" are to Sara...

    In January 2010, the family housekeeper sued Netanyahu in a labor court for withholding wages, unfair working conditions and verbal abuse.[9] Netanyahu was sued as of March 2014 by another caretaker and former bodyguard to the family over claims that she was abusive towards him.[10] In February 2016, the Jerusalem Labor Court ruled in favor of plaintiff Meni Naftali, who claimed that Sara Netanyahu had created a hostile work environment and awarded him damages of NIS 170,000.[11] The National Labor Court subsequently rejected her appeal.

    that's like $40K USD.

    In 2015, reports surfaced that she had ordered catered meals and charged the government nearly $100,000 for the expenses when the Prime Minister's Office already employed a cook.[12] Police recommended indicting her in 2016.[13] On September 8, 2017, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced that Netanyahu would be charged with ordering meals at the state’s expense without authorization.[14][15] On 17 January 2018, the pre-indictment hearing was held. Netanyahu's lawyers met with Mandelblit, while she herself did not attend, breaking with usual custom.[16] After negotiations for a plea bargain collapsed,[17][18] the trial was set for July 19.[19] Netanyahu's lawyers argued that the meals were ordered by an assistant for visiting dignitaries.[20]

    like what the shit. how the fuck do you drop $100K on catering, unless the entire point is to do some payola to a friend's catering company. anyway....

    On 16 June 2019, Netanyahu signed a plea deal and was convicted of misusing state funds, with the more severe charge of fraud being dropped. She was ordered to pay 55,000 NIS ($15,275) to the state.[21]

    here comes the punchline....

    During a visit to a Portuguese memorial to the victims of the Inquisition, Netanyahu stated that her family is also facing an inquisition.
