Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv, Israel, to Tzila Segal (28 August 1912 – 31 January 2000) who had been born in Petah Tikva in the Ottoman Empire's Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, and a Warsaw-born father, Prof. Benzion Netanyahu (1910–2012). He was the second of three children. He discovered via a DNA test that he is, in part, of Sephardi Jewish ancestry. He was initially raised and educated in Jerusalem, where he attended Henrietta Szold Elementary School. A copy of his evaluation from his 6th grade teacher Ruth Rubenstein indicated that Netanyahu was courteous, polite, and helpful; that his work was "responsible and punctual"; and that he was friendly, disciplined, cheerful, brave, active and obedient. | Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv, Israel, to Tzila Segal (28 August 1912 – 31 January 2000) who had been born in Petah Tikva in the Ottoman Empire's Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, and a Warsaw-born father, Prof. Benzion Netanyahu (1910–2012).

Netanyahu is a controversial and polarizing figure. He is known to have a hardline stance against Palestine and has constantly fought against the recognition of a Palestinian state, notably being opposed to the Oslo Accords. Oppression of Palestinians is shown to have increased under him. In recent years, attacks carried out in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have caused some to go so far as accusing Netanyahu's government of committing [[war crimes]] against Palestinians and even committing [[ethnic cleansing]] and possibly [[genocide]] against Palestinians. | Netanyahu is a controversial and polarizing figure.

This attitude may also extend to Arabs, as most Arab countries support Palestine. Both the United Nations and the US State Department have noted that Arabs face systemic discrimination in Israel and face longer prison terms if convicted of crimes than native Israelis. | ||
Tensions with Palestine [[2021 Israel-Palestine crisis|increased]] in 2021 following a planned decision by the Supreme Court of Israel on the eviction of four Palestinian families in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. This led to [[Hamas]] and [[Palestinian Islamic Jihad]] launching a series of coordinated rocket attacks into Israeli from Gaza, which in turn lead to a series of airstrikes by the Israeli Air Force, leading to the deaths of over 300 Palestinian civilians and several thousand injured. The International Criminal Court in the Hague has subsequently launched a war crime probe into these attacks, which Netanyahu has described as "pure[[Anti-Semitism| anti-semitism]]." | Tensions with Palestine [[2021 Israel-Palestine crisis|increased]] in 2021 following a planned decision by the Supreme Court of Israel on the eviction of four Palestinian families in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.

In addition to his questionable treatment of Palestinians, Netanyahu has also faced numerous accusations of political corruption on charges of fraud, bribery, and breach of trust, which Netanyahu himself has denied. Despite this, the Israeli attorney general announced his intention to file indictments against Netanyahu on bribe and fraud charges in three different cases in February 2019. This would make Netanyahu the first sitting Prime Minister in Israeli history to be indicted on criminal charges. On 21 November 2019, he was indicted on charges of breach of trust, bribery and fraud. Due to the indictment, Netanyahu is legally required to relinquish all of his ministry posts other than the prime minister position. | In addition to his questionable treatment of Palestinians, Netanyahu has also faced numerous accusations of political corruption on charges of fraud, bribery, and breach of trust, which Netanyahu himself has denied.
