I've no doubt that Trump would have been made aware of this. he's been trying to engage with Iran, though I don't know how these talks have been going. if Trump wasn't informed he would be pretty irate. so its likely Netanyahu developed the plan to attack Iran in conjunction with US.
but since Trump withdrew from the Obama plan in 2018 Iran has been increasingly withdrawn from international negotiations and returning to their enrichment plans. the consequence of Trump's abusive withdrawal is todays news. BBC link on the IAEA report.
I agree with your wondering on the Israeli people. Netanyahu's aggression is making Israel a prime target.
