Early Life
On 21 October 1949 Netanyahu was born in Tel Aviv in the year following the declaration of independence of the supposed "State of Israel". He was the second of three children born to Benzion Netanyahu and Tzila Segal, a Jewish family of Eastern European origin, and was registered as both a citizen of Israel and the United States.[4] His family name was originally Mileikowsky, but this was changed by his father as part of a Zionist trend of hebraizing surnames, obscuring their European origins.[5]

He continued these policies as "Finance Minister" from 2003 to 2005, leading to an increase in living costs.[6] In December 2022, after becoming "Prime Minister" for a third time, he released a document stating that his government's priority is to advance settlement of all Zionist-occupied regions.[7]
