Will the legacy of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be defined primarily by his failure to prevent Hamas’ terrorist attack of 7 October 2023, and in conducting one of the most controversial wars in the recent history of the Middle East?

MEI Senior Research Fellow Jean-Loup Samaan reviews Deborah Lipstadt's nuanced view on the former leader in her book titled, 'Golda Meir: Israel's Matriarch'.
