Interesting to listen to David Roche of Independent Strategy claiming that Netanyahu's attack of Iran's Syria embassy which provoked the Iranian drone and missile attacks serve to keep him in power and serves his interests in 2 ways
(1) Achieving victory in defending Israel against the Iranian attack help him gain domestic credibility
(2) Now the US would hand over fist deliver new additional financial aid to Israel.

In the short run, this serves to entrench Netanyahu's domestic political power even at the expense of a protracted war.

This is why I said leaders bent on keeping themselves in power at the expense of everything else, including the security and well being of his people, are extremely dangerous.

And there is certainly parallels between the Israeli leader and the other leader who wants the US presidency at all costs.

@1ronnie a well-tried stratagem, remember Mrs Thatcher's successful 'war' on the 'Falkland Islands' (1982) - huge boost to 'patriotic' feelings in Britain, even formerly peaceful and Labor-inclined citizens felt a surge of nationalism, but it was early in her 'rule' and probably helped give her status within her own party as well. She finally lost power in 1990, having been PM for 11 years.
Let's hope Netanjahu has by now lost the hearts and minds of more than half his citizens and this will be viewed correctly as a desperate attempt at staying in power at all cost.
