Abstract
Prior to his election as prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu built a sto re-house of writings and interviews outlining his vision of Israel's p lace in the Middle East and the world, Valuable clues within them make it possible to establish the general pattern of Netanyahu's political thought, including his level of morale, determination areas of focus, and philosophy of action. Working from the existing record, the autho r addresses Netanyahu's historical assumptions and worldview; his poli tical program toward the Palestinians Syria, and other Arabs; and his attitude toward Israel's future dimensions and Arab-Israeli relations Netanyahu's personal and political commitment to his long-held objecti ves and the unlikelihood of his deviation from these principles are di scussed.
