Bibi wants retaliation because the only thing keeping him in office is constant wars.

Without it, his corruption case progresses

He isn't the only person in the whole government of Israel. If it were advantageous only for him he would have been gone already.

How much do you know about his administration?

He has a literal terrorist in charge of police, a guy that was so extreme even as a teenager that he was forbade from serving in the IDF. You know, the thing literally everyone in Israel has to do.

Bibi genocides for political power, but he staffed a lot of his admin with people just doing it for the sake of genocide, they didn't need a reason, they just needed an excuse.

But the only reason he hasn't lost an election is he keeps postponing it due to the wars he's starting.

Either the election or the trial gets him out of power, he's basically holding the country hostage, but because most other countries won't ever criticize Israel's government under any circumstances, apparently this whole time some PM just had to say "fuck it, I'm a dictator".

It's getting to the point a revolution/coup is likely.

It’s getting to the point a revolution/coup is likely.

Seems like the amount of genocide required for that is quite a bit more than normal
