Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be offering supporters a new look into his political and personal life, joining the popular photo sharing platform Instagram.

As of late Thursday night, the premier had almost 1,200 followers.

Pictures include old photos showing Netanyahu and his wife Sara with their young children, and an image of Netanyahu finishing the writing of a Torah scroll in memory of the Jewish victims of the Hypercacher supermarket in Paris that saw a deadly terrorist attack on January 9.

The newest picture shows Netanyahu on the campaign trail in Kiryat Gat. With election season in full swing, campaign photos are likely to dominate the account in the coming weeks.



No word on whether he will include images from his Bibi-sitter service.
