It's really not comparable. She never wanted to be prime minister. He
kept getting elected to deal with various serious escalations from the
Palestinians after Oslo failed to achieve much in the way of peace.

Instead, to get out of personal legal difficulty, he tried to put the
Supreme Court under Parliament, destroying it as an independent branch
of the government, which most Israelis would not stand for. It led to
resignations from the Reserves. It's Israel. This has never happened
before. Between that and distracting the Saudis from signing a peace
treaty, that's why Hamas chose that time to attack.

Meir's government missed signs of war preparations but she was not
accused of creating massive dissent within Israeli society to get out of
potential criminal charges.
