Our November Happyclown is Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Born in Jerusalem in 1949, Ben was elected to the leadership of Israel's Likud Party in 1993, and in 1996 became the Prime Minister of Israel.
Happyclown is thrilled to commemorate Benjamin Netanyahu and his world changing "Project Exodus 2000" which plans to move the entire state of
Israel to North America.
Mr. Netanyahu, known affectionately as 'Bibi' to his many supporters,
served as Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister (1988-1991) and as a Deputy
Minister in the Prime Minister's Office (1991-1992). During the
Gulf War he was the principal spokesman for Israel.
He was a member of Israel's Delegation to the Madrid Peace Conference
in 1991 and to the subsequent peace talks in Washington.
Elected to the Knesset in 1988, Mr. Netanyahu's previous posts were
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations (1982-1984) and Deputy Chief
of Mission to the United States (1982-1984).
Netanyahu has been a strong advocate of electoral reform in Israel. He
was among those who in 1992 led a successful battle to pass the ground
breaking bill for direct elections of the Prime Minister -- heralding
a fundamental change in Israel's political system. In the present
Knesset, Netanyahu has submitted a bill for direct elections of
Members of Knesset.
