Time Magazine is renowned for its magazine covers, always featuring a celebrity or even a seemingly "nobody" but always someone with a great story.
In December 2019, they published an article on their Best Portraits of 2019 and so we thought that we would celebrate along and highlight our faves!
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
As reported - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won a landslide victory in his party primary on Friday, thrashing his rival for leadership of the right-wing Likud party by a vote of 72% to 28%.
Netanyahu’s decisive win came just weeks after being indicted on charges relating to corruption and bribery, and signals that the loyalty of his base is not wavering in the face of his tremendous legal troubles and failure to assemble a governing coalition in two general elections earlier this year.
The results also suggest that Israel might be back on track for yet more political deadlock."
