;Binyamin Netanyahu
Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu's three year rule of Israel was widely considered one of the low points in Israel's short history. A lack of a peace process, high unemployment, lack of investment, escalating crime, lack of tourism, etc., characterized his premiership and government. Ehud Barak became the new prime minister of Israel only to be replaced by Arial Sharon. A nd now he is back again.
