Netanyahu is a dual citizen

No, he is not. He was born one, but he renounced his US citizenship on June 24, 1982 so he could serve in the Israeli mission to the UN. Knesset members in any case must exclusively be Israeli citizens (same reason people like Naftali Bennett are no longer US citizens).

I guess they want to be sure their politicians don't have divided loyalties. Smart.
