This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Aluf Benn (May 21, 2024). "Analysis | Jerusalem, Not The Hague: Israel Must Investigate Netanyahu for Crimes Against Humanity in Gaza". Haaretz. On Monday evening... I went to the Benjamin Netanyahu Wikipedia entry in English. I was interested in seeing what the citizens of the world who are interested in the Israeli leader would find there, on the most important encyclopaedia website that there is. "Netanyahu's government has been accused of genocide," it reads. Further along, it also mentions the request for an arrest warrant against him "as part of the ICC investigation in Palestine."
