    Well that’s just threatening them with a good time.

    Netanyahu doesn’t want a ceasefire and he does want Iran to attack and draw the US into the conflict.

      Netanyahu only wants one thing, and it’s to stay in power for as long as possible. If a regional war gives that to him (via Ben-Gvir), he won’t mind.

      Edit: He currently holds a parliamentary majority. If he agrees to a ceasefire, the more extreme members of his coalition will no-confidence him together with the opposition. And, as it stands right now, he has no chance of participating in the next government.

        Pretty sure he needs conflict to stay in power and he needs power to shield him.
