内塔尼亚胡重塑了自我。选民会认为这够了吗？伊莎贝尔·克什纳 本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在10月7日袭击后重塑了自己，从谨慎的领导人转变为强硬的战时总理，承诺“完成对伊朗政权的消灭”。
Netanyahu has reinvented himself. Will voters think it’s enough? Isabel Kershner Benjamin Netanyahu has remade himself after the Oct 7 attacks, shifting from cautious leader to hardline wartime prime minister who promises to “complete the elimination of the Iranian regime”.

AI生成 以色列霍隆——本雅明·内塔尼亚胡这些天看起来更瘦更苍白。以往政治竞选中的那种张扬气势已不复存在。但他仍然不知疲倦，穿梭于购物中心和电视演播室之间，试图说服一个疲惫而两极分化的国家，让他在10月27日的以色列选举中重新执政，最多再干四年。
AI generated HOLON, Israel – Benjamin Netanyahu looks thinner and paler these days. Gone is the swagger of previous political campaigns. But he remains tireless, traipsing among shopping centres and television studios, trying to persuade a weary and polarised country to return him to office for up to another four years in Israeli elections on Oct 27.
他现年77岁，已经是以色列任职时间最长的总理。如果他想延长这一任期，就必须向这个严重分裂的选民群体推销一个新的、更鹰派的自己——以及一个新的、更鹰派的以色列。
At 77, he is already Israel’s longest-serving prime minister. If he is to extend that tenure, he has to sell the deeply divided electorate on the new, more hawkish version of himself – and of Israel.
