@ArtemisiaGentileschiFan, GreatLeader1945, and PrimalMustelid: Since i think something productive can come out of this dispute, i'd like to try airing these issues out before this goes to ANI. Would attributing the statements regarding authoritarianism to some variation of opposiitoin politicians and researchers in the field be acceptable to you? I think the issue regarding authoritarianism clearly warrants mention but it needs more WP:NPOV phrasing. I'd also propose similar attribution-related changes to the part regarding the blaming of the leftist deep state to netanyahu (per the video he published a month ago + other statements) and the part regarding far-right politicians. What do you all think? Totalstgamer (talk) 18:21, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The infobox is too long imo, it's causing us to run into problems with MOS:SANDWICH. There are possibly more pics of Netanyahu in his youth that the article could benefit from that we can't include because of the infobox length and sandwiching.
Unfortunately because his career is so significant and long, length is arguably justified. But maybe some sections of the infobox could be collapsed, like his family for instance. Maybe an article could be created for "Family of Benjamin Netanyahu" and be linked in the "relatives" section instead. Or some autocollapsed sections be created. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 20:43, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I honestly agree, all the ministerial positions are already collapsed. You could collapse the UN Ambassador role into the suboffices and/or remove the mention of his Chairmanship of Likud. I don't oppose the family idea Totalstgamer (talk) 21:08, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no mention that he is a wanted war criminal in the free world. No section regarding it nor is there any links to the current warrant. There is also no mention of relations with far right parties in Europe and America. 90.246.12.230 (talk) 00:26, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
