Gen. Shahar Leroi (Bonsai Timeline)

Shahar Leroi (11th November 1960-16th February 2033) is an Israeli-based politician and military general who served as the 36th Prime Minister of Israel from 2024 to 2033.

Born into a wealthy military family, Leroi would enter the Israeli Armed Forces at a very young age, where he would participate in the First and Second Lebanon Wars, as well as the Gaza War, which he would be mortally wounded in. During the early 2020s, Leroi would enter the Israeli political scene as a fierce nationalist and founder of the Independence Party, as well as a fierce critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's more globalist foreign policy. He would be elected Prime Minister of Israel during the 2024 elections, and re-elected in 2027 in a landslide victory in the Knesset.

As Prime Minister of Israel, Leroi would be one of the powerful world leaders of the 2010s, overseeing Israel's growing nuclear arsenal and foreign policy presence, inciting wars with neighbouring Palestinian territories, Syria and economic sanctions against the European Union. During his leadership over an annexed Gaza Strip, Leroi's actions against Palestinians were deemed gravely immoral, prompting international action from major world powers including the United States of America. He died at the age of 73 from complications of Parkinson's disease, in the midst of Operation Excelis Deo, which would result in the end of his regime and subsequently lead to the Israeli Civil War (2031-2042)

EARLY LIFE
Born Shahar Jonathan Leroi to father Jonathan Leroi and mother Adama Leroi in 1960, Leroi would spend his early days primarily living in Jerusalem, Israel, where he was raised by his grandmother. Jonathan Leroi, a commander in the naval fleet of the Israeli armed forces, gained national recognition for his leadership during the Six Day War.

Leroi would join the military immediately after his two-year-long national service. His military career would span 37 years, from 1982 until his retirement in 2009 following his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Leroi would keep his struggle with the ailment away from the general public, even with his health deteriorating significantly by the 2030s, rendering him wheelchair bound. Leroi would also struggle with prostate cancer in the early 2020s, prior to his prime ministership, as well as recurring bouts of asthma in later parts of his life.

In 1985, Leroi married Amy Aaron, and they would have three sons together: Jonathan, Abrahamand Michael. The term "Leroi curse" would be coined in the 2020s due to the harsh tragedies that would befall the family, with neither Jonathan nor Michael surviving past adolescence due to health issues, and Amy's death from breast cancer in 2024. Abraham Leroi, the youngest son, would flee to Russia in the 2030s where he would serve as a political informant to Prime Minister Yaromir Borisov in exchange for amnesty.
