PNN – “He surrendered to his wife’s wishes and fought only in his own name.” This is the complete psychological analysis of Netanyahu that the Ma’ariv newspaper presented in its today’s issue.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the Ma’ariv newspaper continued its psychological analysis of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in its issue today, Saturday, and wrote in this regard:
Is Benjamin Netanyahu a rational or emotional personality? How does he make decisions? What is he hiding behind the mask of rhetoric? Does he really have two “currents,” one external and one internal?
Ma’ariv continued: In this article, Dr. Ofer Grozbard, a clinical psychologist, former advisor to the military intelligence service, and author of the book “Has the End of the State of Israel Come?”, we attempt to delve deeper into this central figure in Israeli politics over the past three decades.
Bibi, as mentioned, is a shrewd man who is skilled at managing complex political situations, has great rhetorical ability, and can tailor his words to the ears of his audience; sometimes he does this for the general public and sometimes for politicians who later claim that he has not kept his promises.

His personality structure does not allow him to accept any harm. When faced with corruption allegations, instead of dealing calmly and legally, he becomes paranoid, mobilizing his supporters and talking about conspiracies against him. Other politicians have not behaved this way in the past.
Therefore, beneath his apparent authority – a wartime trial – stands a figure who refuses to accept defeat and blames others for his failure.
Grozbard added: Bibi will not suffer from depression like Begin did in the First Lebanon War when soldiers were killed, he will not resign like Golda Meir after the Yom Kippur War, and he will certainly not have suicidal thoughts.
He doesn’t suffer from periods of depression in the middle of the war, like Churchill. Baby doesn’t attack himself (feeling guilty or accepting defeat) but protects himself. For this reason, he does not encourage elections, does not form a government investigation committee, rarely meets with the families of the hostages, pays the Haredis to maintain his coalition, and, most importantly, does not take personal responsibility for what happened.
What has happened to Baby in recent years?
Baby, as described, is a leader with high intellectual capacity and a strong will to deal with criticism and difficulties. But this is only the outer shell of his personality that he maintained for years until he was faced with lawsuits. When he faced the threat of dismissal, scandal, and perhaps prison, his ability to adapt that he had maintained for years collapsed. His defenses collapsed and a different Bibi emerged, whose statements contradicted what he had been preaching for years (such as preserving the judicial system or the need to attract Haredis) and put everything in the interests of his political survival.

In the political arena, he still tries to survive by avoiding responsibility for accusations and failures, and with a little luck, his ability to seduce helps him. It seems that Baby is leading a double life, and even he himself does not know what he is hiding.
Baby’s immature personality not only leads him to “behave in a sine wave” and say different things at different times depending on the need of the moment, but also avoids making big decisions.
He is more concerned with his own interests than ours, and this is best maintained in a passive approach that is risk-averse.
Why did it hesitate to do so for about a year before entering Lebanon? Why did it agree to a ceasefire and keep its forces at the border after the devastation Hezbollah has wrought in our societies? That is just part of the list.
Netanyahu has been prime minister since 1996 for seventeen years (fourteen and a half of the last sixteen), and it is clear that he has not understood the enemy and his intentions, has imposed his modern thinking on him, and has adopted a passive and even fearful approach that has allowed the enemy to grow stronger. At every stage of decision-making, he has avoided taking risks to preserve his political life.
Grosbard explained: There are really two currents that dominate Netanyahu, one overt and one covert. Bibi is fully aware of the text that matters to the nation and knows how to speak about it, but he acts from a personal and selfish perspective that makes him very misleading.
Thus, he may be momentarily worried about his house being bombed by Hezbollah missiles, without thinking about the fate of the nation. But Churchill, for example, spoke of “blood, sweat and tears,” but he stood up for the fate of the nation against the Nazis and did not think about the image he would leave behind.
Bibi, who has written two books on the war on terror, has failed to understand anything he has written. This is the misleading aspect of his personality. It is as if he has two personalities: an external and an internal one. Bibi himself seems to not understand his problem.
In another part of this article, the expert asks: Why does Baby always choose the passive path?
Bibi continues his escape, hoping not to get wet. In other words, he does not take responsibility for bombing the Iraqi reactor, does not stand up to American pressure like Ben-Gurion, does not make a deal with Hamas to release the hostages, and does not start a full-scale war.
As we said, he is not responsible and therefore does not get depressed. From his point of view, this may be an advantage, but from our point of view it is a disadvantage.
