Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu celebrated his 77th birthday on Wednesday, marking a historic milestone as he becomes the oldest serving prime minister in Israel's history. Netanyahu, who first entered the role at age 46 and was then the youngest prime minister, now holds the opposite record as well.
He surpassed former Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir and David Ben-Gurion, both of whom served until age 76. Shamir concluded his last term in 1992, while Ben-Gurion retired in 1963. Netanyahu has now passed their ages at the end of their tenures while still in office.
Thirty years after first being elected prime minister in 1996 at the age of 46, Netanyahu is preparing for another election on October 27. If he successfully forms a government and completes a full four-year term, he could continue serving until age 81. Thus, ahead of the upcoming elections, Netanyahu holds two remarkable records: the youngest person to assume the premiership and the oldest to hold the position.
