Benjamin Netanyahu is not traditionally considered to be from any specific tribe in Israel. The concept of tribes in Israel is primarily associated with ancient biblical history and genealogy, particularly among the 12 tribes of Israel. Modern Israeli society does not typically identify individuals as belonging to specific tribes in the same way as in ancient times. Netanyahu's ancestry is of European Jewish descent, and his family background does not align with tribal affiliations in the traditional sense.

Did Judah and Benjamin became one tribe of people?

During the period of the later Kingdom of Judah and the Exile, the Tribe of Benjamin merged into the much larger Tribe of Judah, but this was more of a cultural absorption than any proclamation or intent.


Which Bible verse identifies Paul as part of the tribe of Benjamin?

What tribe name is the month of may of the 12 tribe of Israel?

In Israel's history it doesn't work like that. They were divided into 12 tribes and lived like that. -- There are 12 hours on the face of the clock, but no particular hour has ever been associated with any specific tribe of Israel. -- Although they're all members of the Big 12 Athletic Conference, the Baylor Bears, Iowa State Cyclones, Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats, Oklahoma Sooners etc. don't consider themselves to be connected with any particular tribe of Israel. -- Ishmael also had twelve sons, but there's not even any parallel drawn between Israel's tribes and Ishmael's. Each 'tribe' of Israel is simply the descendants of one of Jacob's twelve sons.


In the Bible what tribe was a part of the Southern Kingdom?

The southern two-tribe kingdom was called Judah and it consisted of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Additional Comments: Though directly after the split in Israel with Judah and Benjamin remaining in what would be called the Southern Kingdom, the Levites (priests) were soon banned from the Northern Kingdom and went to the southern parts. As with any country of mixed peoples/tribes, there will always be some of every tribe remaining in the South due to marriage, business or just their living place.


Will Israel take over the US in 2012?

apparently not. It is unclear what is meant by "take over". Israel has no interest in conquering or diplomatic wrestling with the United States considering that the United States is Israel's strongest ally. When Prime Minister Netanyahu began to complain about his reception in Washington, the opposition leader Mofaz said, "Who is your enemy, the United States or Iran?" He did this in order to remind Netanyahu that the United States is still Israel's greatest supporter and not to worry so much about the United States. As for AIPAC and other Israel-aligned lobbies, they have had a strong hand in American foreign policy for a while now and it has not grown or subsided in any strong way in the last decade.


Which tribe of Israel received cities?

No tribe of Israel "received" cities. The Tribe of Levi was required to live in the cities of the various other tribally-allocated territories in order to perform the requisite religious rituals. They were forbidden from owning any land, requiring them to sustain themselves on the part of the sacrifices that it was permissible to consume.


Why is Israel so opposed to the Obama Doctrine?

This is a complicated question. First, it should be stated that President Obama, like other US presidents, is pro-Israel. And also like other US presidents, he supports a two-state solution, where both Israel and Palestine would live in peace side by side. But the Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, has become very conservative and hawkish; during the most recent election, Bibi asserted that he was opposed to a two-state solution. Also, as a conservative and a hawk, Mr. Netanyahu got elected on a platform of strong military defense and readiness to attack any of Israel's enemies if necessary. To some degree, this is understandable: Israel's security has been threatened many times (and it should also be noted that for decades, the US has sent aid and military expertise to help Israel when it was under threat). But while the US and Israel are supposed to be allies, Mr. Netanyahu does not like President Obama; he sees the president as too willing to compromise with Israel's enemies, especially Iran.Granted, some of Mr. Netanyahu's rhetoric is political: the US has not given assistance to Iran, nor to other countries that are hostile to Israel. But Bibi's dislike of Obama has given American Republicans (with whom the Israeli leader has aligned himself) a chance to claim Mr. Obama is either anti-Israel or too willing to trust Iran. The Obama administration believes that diplomacy is better than war, and the president believes a tough but fair agreement can be reached with Iran that will prevent the development of any nuclear weapons. Mr. Netanyahu believes this is impossible and along with congressional Republicans, he has been trying to make sure any negotiations with Iran do not succeed. What is complicated here is that few countries, including the US, trust Iran (which has a history of sponsoring terrorism). But the Obama Administration, along with other nations, prefers to avoid another war, and is willing to give the negotiations a chance. Israel, however, seems unwilling to have that happen.


Why are the Israelis sabotaging President Obama's sanction talks with Iran?

Actually, it's not clear that Israel is "sabotaging" anything, any more than France is. There are a few countries (in addition to Israel and France) that are concerned about the terms of the talks and numerous others remain unsure about whether Iran can be trusted. Meanwhile, there have been decades-long problems between Iran and the US, and it will take a while for these issues to be resolved. Thus, it is not surprising that countries which might be affected by Iran's policies are going to try to inject their own needs and concerns, which is typical of any diplomatic negotiations.As for Israel, the current leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, is very outspoken and hawkish, and his mistrust of Iran is understandable, given the state-sponsored terrorism that Iran has funded. But it remains to be seen whether the talks will proceed to a positive conclusion, or whether nothing useful will result. And it is doubtful that any one country will ruin the talks, unless that country is Iran.More inputIn addition to the useful answer above, let's not forget that Iran has called for the complete destruction of Israel, not to mention denying the existence of the Holocaust. Netanyahu's hawkishness is completely understandable in regards to preventing Iran from acquiring the means to destroy Israel.


Does a member of a tribe of Israel have any special status within Israel or in Judaism?

A person's status depends on his/her merits and achievements. The one exception is the tribe of Levi, whom the Torah (Numbers ch.18) accords a degree of honor because they shunned the Golden Calf (Exodus ch.32). The Kohanim, who have a higher degree of honor, are one of the families within the tribe of Levi.
