“Mr. Netanyahu and his team outlined conditions they portrayed as pointing to near-certain victory: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks. The regime would be so weakened that it could not choke off the Strait of Hormuz, and the likelihood that Iran would land blows against U.S. interests in neighboring countries was assessed as minimal”
So basically
- Netanyahu saw an opportunity given Iranian sanctions and protests, fall of Syria
- Talks to an isolated, unpopular right wing president who relies on personal validation from a few people, strength displays, and quick victories without commitments especially after Venezuela
- President’s aides are too scared to challenge him because of his temper. Vance and Tulsi are removeded and useless
- He’s paranoid Iran wants to assassinate him. He’s also bought out by the Zionist lobby, especially since late 2015 when he got backlash after avoiding open support for a united Jerusalem and alluding to making a deal for the Israel-Palestine issue
- By his second term, he’s looking to reassert the US through great power politics in a multipolar world, leading the charge where Biden didn’t further aid Netanyahu’s regional escalation after October 7th. But he also thinks allies will pick up the tab afterward.
- No peace through strength. No peace or strength at all
