No I’d say his peak height was 5’11 1/2 and is now 5’10 1/2 -5’10 3/4 Rob I think you should change this

@Ryan
Smotrich claimed 5'5, but he is probably 1-2 cm below that
Ryan S said on 13/Mar/23
How tall would you say Bezalel Smotrich (Israeli Finance Minister) look in comparison in this photo? If Netenyahu is truly ~ 5'9 currently, Smotrich looks to be no more than 5'4.

Maybe Benjamin has gained a little being closer, but losing a little in posture. I'd have thought 4 inch difference.

hmmm,he looked 2" smaller than DeSantis who's 5'11 at best.A real chance for being only 5'9 flat these days
Yuval said on 31/Dec/22
Now he is Prime minister again, You need to update Rob. Amazing thing he never seems short. He held well against tall presidents like Obama and Trump
Eric W Tam said on 7/Dec/22
huh really? Kanye would start saying he himseif is 179 cm if he sees him listed at a ridiculous 184 on Google!

God bless him!
Yuval said on 11/Nov/22
Now he got re elected again!
His height is a mystory, can seem 175 at times, but next to 180 guys he looks similar. His 184 claim must have been taken from a morning measurement in his younger days, plus shoes maybe.
Never seemed really above 180, and today not above 177.
Nevertheless he is a proof you can be very strong leader despite being average height. His rival in Israel, Benny Gantz, who is 6'3 didnt gain any advantage over him dispite 5 inches difference.
Yuval said on 22/Apr/22
Intresting, he does look 180cm in 2009 , and 10 years later he looks 1 inch shorter, no more then 177 cm.
Almost 180cm guy said on 11/Apr/22
In my opinion 5ft 10.75 is the very likely range for his peak height. Here are a few more of his photos with Bill Clinton from 1996: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Netanyahu looked no more than a three inch shorter than Clinton. Even in 2009, when he was 60, he still looked close to his peak height. In 2009, he looked only two-inch shorter than Barack Obama: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
And in these photos of Netanyahu and Nicolas Sarkozy from 2009, Netanyahu looks more than five inches taller than Sarkozy if we consider their footwear: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Finally, another photos of Netanyahu alongside Tony Blair from 1998, I believe a full 6 feet for Blair and Netanyahu looked just about an inch shorter than him: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Rob, didn't you notice that Netanyahu could look around 5ft 11 at times?
Editor Rob
Like a lot of famous people, you can see the argument for being a fraction taller. In a few of those photos, 5ft 10.5-11 is arguable for him.

Benjamin Netanyahu's Height around 1.72m he uses High Heels shoes sometimes to be more tall near tall liders like Obama and Trump. people who met him and worked with him told things like that.
and Naftali Bennet is around 1.70m (I saw him on the street before few years).
Yuval Omrad said on 15/Dec/21
Rob, you should put Naftali Bennet also, as the prime minister of Israel. He looks 5'8 to me
Almost 180cm guy said on 5/Oct/21
I think Rob you should now write that Netanyahu is the former Prime Minister of Israel. Anyway, I still believe in nearly 5ft 11 for his peak height. I found a few more photos of him with Tony Blair from 1998: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
In my opinion, Blair had a full 6ft, Clinton was 6ft 1.75 and Netanyahu was 5ft 10.75 because he really could have looked around 5ft 11 in the 90's alongside Clinton and Blair.
Yuval said on 20/Feb/21
He can seem as low as 5'9 and a change sometimes, but also 5'10 these days. My guess will remain 177 cm
Almost 180cm guy said on 27/Dec/20
Netanyahu may have looked around 180 cm in the 90's. Here are some of his photos alongside Tony Blair from 1998: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Of course Blair might have been a full 6ft but Netanyahu might have looked close to 5ft 11 next to him. Back then Netanyahu was 49 and Blair 45, so they probably haven't lost anything yet. Rob, how likely is 5ft 10.75 for peak height of Netanyahu?
Yuval said on 13/Oct/20
Not enough traffic in here..come on this is Israel prime minister for over a decade!
I think he is around 176-177 cm, but in the 90's he was taller,maybe 180 cm.
Yuval said on 24/Nov/19
It's funny I wrote the privous comment 7 month ego and Israel is going to third elections in a row
Yuval said on 13/Apr/19
Hello from Israel! We love him and I think he is 177 cm. Now he won the elections again

@ MJKoP - I have an English cousin called Simon Cowell! He is one of four, only one of whom is a girl. Her name is Ruth and she is married to a doctor. She used to run a heart operation ward.

Cheers Adam! xxx 😁

Hi Adam!

I just tried - and failed - to communicate with you but to no avail! Now I shall have another go! I went to bed after dinner because I'm not very used to eating! Now I am up and though I can't see the pictures, I can write, which is more than I can say for last time I came here! The journey was a stinker as I brought far too much along. I was physically lifted onto the train and my bags with me!
😉👍
Have a great weekend!

@ MJKoP - I am sitting in my Dad's car while he has gone to complete the shopping.

I've been introducing my Dad to all kinds of music. Some he likes and some he doesn't. I know he's always honest though.....


I think he'll agree with me that the breaking story on Benny here is "Absolutely Dreadful". ;)

Yesterday I met my little nephew and he is gorgeous! He took to me as I cuddled him! He shares his birthday with David Bowie's. What a genius he was!

Cheers MJKoP!

Always great to hear from you!

@ MJKoP - That's no mean boast to be able to say that you attended the same college as the Prime Minister of Israel!

What can I possibly do to compete? I can try by saying that I attended the same college as David Bowie, and Nigel Farage's little brother and the twin sons of Benny Gallagher, of Scottish singers Gallagher and Lyle fame, who had hits in the 70's and worked for a time with Simon and Garfunkel, also went to my school! In both cases at school, I was considerably their senior.

It's a small world out there, isn't it?

Cheers MJKoP! I hope you are well!
😁👍


Nice to hear from you, Sandy! And it was High School...NOT college(sorry for the dialect barrier!). And tbh, I'm much prouder of being associated with 'Lil Dicky' - whose brother Aaron I mentored as a "fourth grade buddy" when he was in Kindergarten and whose cousin Daniel I've had as a good childhood friend of mine since we were both in first grade, and who I've remained in contact with ever since. Nope, never met David himself...well, I probably at some point standing right next to him, long before he made it big - pun unintended! But if you check out that video collaboration he did with Snoop, you can see an animated version of his Cheltenham house I've been to! Still pass it by when I'm in the area.

But you definitely win, Sandy...even if your dad isn't named "Simon". :)

erdoğan my president height is 183 cm
JD 5'9" said on 20/Feb/19
Looks between 3 and 4 inches shorter than Trump. I'd guess he's a solid 5'9" or around 176cm today. Not sure about peak height. I'm curious about Erdogan though. Not sure he's 6'2" like he claims.

Maybe not so far off 6ft
Greg99 said on 18/Feb/19
Sorry Rob, but I think the height listing here is way off - Bibi was maybe 5'9 peak - he's now 5'8 or less. Below link is to an image shot at a less-than-optimal angle for determining height, but seriously does Netanyahu appear half an inch taller than 5'9" Mike Pence? Also, based on height variations in images of him, there's something else going on - e.g. in some images he appears just an inch or so shorter than Trump, which is obviously not correct.

Editor Rob
In that shot, I think Mike has a considerable advantage in terms of being nearer the camera. Overall I can see how he looks around 5ft 9 at times these days, but also as you say, hes not exactly towered by '6ft 3' Trump.

Oh, no wonder I've heard of Benjamin if he's president of Israel!

Current - 5ft9.5

Peak - 5ft10.5

Bibi graduated Cheltenham High School in 1967. Rapper David Burd aka "Lil Dicky"(also has a listing here) graduated in '06. And yours truly graduated a year before the latter. :)
