Benjamin Netanyahu has spent 30 years in public office, including 11 years as Israel's prime minister, but this year his political future is being called into question as seldom before.
Police say they have questioned Netanyahu twice since Jan. 2 at his official residence in Jerusalem in two separate criminal cases involving allegations of abuse of office.

The "People of Israel" כלל ישראל is one of the names we use for our tribe, if you want to refer to Israelis then call them Israelis.
Your comment as written refers to Jews and it's bigoted IMO.
