Portmanteau of "Bibi", a familiar nickname for Benjamin Netanyahu, and "bitachon" (alternatively "bitakhon"), Hebrew for security or confidence. Refers to Bibi's security policy, as in security for him, not Israelis. Bibi often replied with "u bitachom" (and security) to the greeting "shalom" (peace). In the famous hit song "Kof taase beguim" (Monkey do begums) from Hamas, there is the line "zazaj mitucha shev israel", which in Reggae-worthy accent refers to this bibitachon.
