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.

I think you’re right. I hope some of that message gets through to those Israeli people who actually do want a ceasefire.

The polling I’ve seen suggests the Israeli people are bloodthirsty as fuck.

1.8% said they believed the IDF was using too much fire power, while 4.2% said they weren’t sure whether it was using too much or too little firepower.

Support for peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority among Israeli Jews fell from 47.6% in favor in September to just 24.5% in favor in the survey conducted between Oct. 23 and Oct. 28.

Note that the Palestinian Authority is the comprador gov’t of the west bank. These people don’t even want Israel to negotiate with their own puppets.

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.
