As long as Israel is fighting in Gaza, he can keep hi indicted ass in office and not face the consequences of his actions.
He is basically Israel's Trump.

My feeling that like Bush and the Iraq War, his support among Israelis will drop once the combat is over.

(96,882 posts)You need a majority of the Knesset to call for new Elections, and a majority of the Knesset supports Bibi and the Gaza actions.
Think. Again.

(18,105 posts)Not only that but as I suspected, someone posted an article about post-war Gaza negotiations and the interested parties are rich Arab countries. There is a lot going on besides Bibi. That has been obvious for some time.

(13,560 posts)That means around 100,000 deaths for Palestinians because its already approaching 40,000 with thousands more buried under the rubble of buildings plus hundreds of thousands maimed for life. Are we at attempted genocide yet or must we wait and see how many more women and children die?
And, yes, Bibi is trying to help Trump win because he knows Trump doesnt care what he does to Palestinians and would probably tell him to nuke them all if he wanted to.
