Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel's youngest prime minister in the country's history.
One of the interesting facts about Benjamin Netanyahu is that he has served as Israel's prime minister for the longest time while also being the youngest is what makes him most famous. Shimon Peres, the incumbent Labor candidate, lost to him by a 1% vote margin in 1996 and went on to become Israel's prime minister. Age 46 applied to him. Until 1999, Netanyahu was in office as prime minister. He signed the Wye and Hebron Accords throughout his reign, which helped the Palestinians and Israelis get closer to peace. In addition, he increased government privatization, loosened monetary rules, and decreased deficits.
He served as prime minister at a period of political and social upheaval. The decision by Netanyahu to reactivate an old tunnel led to deadly clashes with the Palestinians and strained already tense relations between Israel and Syria.
In spite of his opposition to Israeli forces leaving occupied territory in exchange for peace, Netanyahu, who served as prime minister from 1996 to 1999, ordered the Israeli military to leave a portion of the West Bank town of Hebron in 1997 as part of an interim peace agreement with the Palestinians. But after that, Netanyahu made one of his least popular political choices. He reneged on a portion of the Israel-Palestine land accord his government had formed and publicly announced his intention to build a Jewish colony on Palestinian-claimed territory. His tenure was ended in 1999 by an early election brought on by a subsequent agreement with the Palestinians that was arranged by the United States.
