Free with YouTube's ads, posted by FRONTLINE PBS | Official.

After the Israeli elections, revisit six documentaries exploring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rise and the decisions that have set his country on the road to war.

The films in this documentary marathon trace the political journey of Israel's longest-serving prime minister, his complex relationship with the United States, and his command of politics — from the collapse of the Oslo Accords to the ongoing war in Iran:

- Shattered Dreams of Peace (2002): FRONTLINE’s seminal documentary on how the Israeli-Palestinian peace process begun at Oslo was derailed and ultimately undone by the dynamics of politics and violence on both sides.

- Netanyahu at War (2016): An inside look at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political rise and his relationship with the U.S.

- Failure at the Fence (2023): A groundbreaking visual investigation in collaboration with The Washington Post featuring a detailed examination of how Hamas was able to breach Israel’s vaunted security barrier on Oct. 7 and carry out its attack.

- Netanyahu, America & the Road to War in Gaza (2023): A sweeping examination of the critical moments leading up to the war in Gaza told over the course of the past three decades, and the pivotal role of a central player: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

- Israel's Second Front (2024): Correspondent Ramita Navai investigates rising support for militant groups, including Hamas, since the Oct. 7 attack, Israel’s ongoing military campaign in the West Bank and the implications for a region on edge.

- Remaking the Middle East: The U.S., Israel and Iran (2026): An examination of Netanyahu’s long campaign to defeat Iran, his relations with the U.S. over peace and the regime’s nuclear ambitions.
