On January 14, the Financial Times headlined "Netanyahu: tactical genius, strategic idiot," saying:
He's Israel's second longest serving prime minister. Winning a third term looks sure. He prioritized small conflicts over major ones.
He defied Obama so far "without any real cost."
There's "a strong chance that future generations will (regard him) as a man who fatally undermined" Israel's future.
Palestinian rights are a major unaddressed issue. Occupation harshness has been policy for almost five decades.
"It must be tempting for Israelis to believe (it) can last forever. It cannot."
Israelis face a "deteriorating" international environment. It's losing Western and regional support. It spurns Palestinian rights. "(A)nnexationists" want them denied.
Netanyahu's rage to expand settlements reflects it. He has "no strategic vision." He'll likely stay prime minister. "(H)e risks leading Israel to disaster."
