Benjamin Netanyahu (jan 1, 1996 – jan 1, 1999)

Description:

Benjamin Netanyahu first became prime minister in 1996, becoming Israel’s youngest prime minister at the time. He represented a more skeptical approach toward the Oslo process and emphasized security, reciprocity, and caution in negotiations with the Palestinians.

His first term included agreements such as the Hebron Protocol and Wye River Memorandum, but also deep political conflict. From a timeline perspective, Netanyahu’s first term marks the rise of a new media-focused, security-centered style of Israeli leadership.
