Assailed by political opponents and investigated by police over corruption allegations, Benjamin Netanyahu might be forgiven for thinking that there’s no end to the tzoures coming his way.
But at last there is some good news for the Israeli prime minister – in the United States, they love him.
According to an annual Gallup survey, Mr Netanyahu is the most admired foreign, democratically elected male leader among Americans, and ninth overall on the list of most admired men.
Around one per cent of respondents selected him, putting him ahead of US Vice-President Mike Pence and the Dalai Lama, and only just behind Bill Gates and Jewish failed presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
