Court. Only because of the active war going on right now, the charges Netanyahu was indicted on, breach of trust, accepting bribes, and fraud, the trial is put on hold.
Going after the terrorist's of Hamas and Hezbollah does not make him a hero, it is a requirement of the prime minister to provide security and protection for the citizens of Israel.
The fact is under his governance, he allowed that situation to happen in the first place, and because of that negligence, Israel had to retaliate. It had no choice.
It took 8 hours after October 7 started, before the IDF actually came to the aid of the Israelis been tortured, raped, and killed.
I would not call that a success story of his government, and the least that he could do, because of the failure of his government to protect its citizens.
The fact that has been encouraging settlements in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip only contributed to where we are today.

"By the end of October, it was clear that no one was going to help the villagers of Khirbet Zanuta. A tiny Palestinian community, some 150 people perched on a windswept hill in the West Bank near Hebron, it had long faced threats from the Jewish settlers who had steadily encircled it. But occasional harassment and vandalism, in the days after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, escalated into beatings and murder threats. The villagers made appeal after appeal to the Israeli police and to the ever-present Israeli military, but their calls for protection went largely unheeded, and the attacks continued with no consequences. So one day the villagers packed what they could, loaded their families into trucks and disappeared."
..........
Such violence over the decades in places like Khirbet Zanuta is well documented. But protecting the people who carry out that violence is the dark secret of Israeli justice. The long arc of harassment, assault and murder of Palestinians by Jewish settlers is twinned with a shadow history, one of silence, avoidance and abetment by Israeli officials. For many of those officials, it is Palestinian terrorism that most threatens Israel. But in interviews with more than 100 people — current and former officers of the Israeli military, the National Israeli Police and the Shin Bet domestic security service; high-ranking Israeli political officials, including four former prime ministers; Palestinian leaders and activists; Israeli human rights lawyers; American officials charged with supporting the Israeli-Palestinian partnership — we found a different and perhaps even more destabilizing threat. A long history of crime without punishment, many of those officials now say, threatens not only Palestinians living in the occupied territories but also the State of Israel itself."

No Netanyahu is no hero.
and when you have certain member of his Netanyahu's right-wing coalition calling for the dropping of a nuclear bomb on Gaza, that is a disgrace.
