- What controversies and investigations currently surround Netanyahu?

- What factors have contributed to the recent improvement in Netanyahu's approval ratings?

- What is Netanyahu's apparent political strategy in response to the accusations against him?
- Netanyahu's strategy appears to be presenting himself as a victim of a witch hunt, which resonates with his base. He frames the investigations against him as attacks from a 'deep state' and uses his military successes to bolster his image.
- What are the potential future implications of the current situation for Netanyahu and Israel?
- Netanyahu's future remains uncertain, dependent on the outcomes of the ongoing investigations and his ability to maintain political stability. The potential dismissal of key figures like the Attorney General could further escalate the internal conflict.
