Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is known as the man with nine political lives.
He’s held a vice grip on power for more than 18 years.
That’s made him Israel’s longest-serving prime minister and its most polarising leader.
As people head to the polls next week for a general election, the vote is seen partly as a referendum on Netanyahu’s leadership.
Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh takes a look at the Netanyahu effect on the state of Israel.
Just a note that Al Jazeera is reporting on the Israeli elections from the occupied West Bank because it has been banned from reporting inside Israel.
