Benjamin Netanyahu

Netanyahu's big win and fear of a West Bank ISIS

I suspect that a major reason for Benjamin Netanyahu's big win in the Israeli election was the well-founded fear of many Israelis that giving all or part of the West Bank to the Palestinians would open up Israel to  innumerable attacks across its borders from Islamic State killers. Given what has happened in much of the Mideast, it only stands to reason that the crowd would move into an Arab-run West Bank, too.
