6:19Now PlayingIsrael’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, says he wants to be remembered as a leader who helped secure the country’s future. With three stretches in office under his belt, is he succeeding? Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, and Edward Carr, deputy editor, travelled to Jerusalem to sit down with the prime minister. They ask him about the war in Gaza and his loss of public opinion, at home and abroad.
You can watch the full interview from 6pm UK time on January 9th, 2026 on the Economist’s website. And at 7pm you can watch a discussion show about the interview with Zanny, Edward and a panel of Economist experts.
