Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu – Prime Minister of Israel
All heads of state crave recognition, and although a ludicrous hat is often a prerequisite, the majority of world leaders enjoy the privilege of being in charge of a state that is generally held to exist. Nagorno-Karabakh was an extreme case of a state with scant recognition. Today we venture into a widely recognised territory on very frosty terms with many of its neighbours and inhabitants.
Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel, which has only existed a year longer than Bibi himself. The world’s only Jewish minority state has had a difficult history that we’re scarcely qualified to unpick here. Instead, we offer the world Netanyahu in his underpants. Before long, he will be joined in the World Leaders in Their Underpants pantheon by a representative of Palestine, and we sincerely hope that by exposing their vulnerability to one another they will be overcome by the desire to set aside their conflicts and agree to co-exist it a state of joyous trouser-free harmony.
Until this much anticipated day, Bibi bares all with his fellow heads of state here.
