part of the purpose of this war is for benjamin netenyahu to have the pretenses he needs to do what he's wanted since 2021: to subvert the will of his people and establish himself as dictator. until peace terms are reached, he will retain special wartime military powers, and if you think he's going to restore power you haven't been paying attention to who he is or how israel operates. mark my words, october 7th is when all pretenses of the israeli democracy you're describing eroded entirely.

Yeah you're going to need really stellar sources to back up a claim that is this far from the common position which is that he needs to keep the war going to avoid sentencing in the charges he was found guilty of just before the war started.
