Benjamin Netanyahu has outlasted more American presidents than any other Israeli leader, and this FRONTLINE investigation traces how he got there. The film follows his path from Israel's UN ambassador post through repeated terms as prime minister, drawing a line from his father's hardline Zionist views and his brother's death at Entebbe to the combative diplomacy that defined his career. Interviews with former US and Israeli officials, journalists, and diplomats lay out the friction between Netanyahu and successive White Houses, from clashes with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama over settlements and the Iran nuclear deal to his alliance with Donald Trump. Archival footage tracks his handling of the Gaza wars and the October 7 attack and its aftermath, including the domestic backlash and mass protests his government has faced. The film treats him as a survivor who has weathered corruption charges, coalition collapses, and international criticism, and asks what that survival has cost Israel's relationship with Washington.
