It's incredible how every Islamic faction that's involved has been way more cautious and careful for this entire conflict than Israel. I really admire their restraint! Israel is trying to escalate things left and right, but every other faction is trying to keep things from blowing up.
If Biden doesn't jump on this then he wants Trump to win.
Israel has nukes and is itching to use them.
Watch as the US still doesn't press Israel into a ceasefire. It's becoming increasingly apparent that conflict in the Middle East isn't an unfortunate circumstance but a goal of American foreign policy.
America? Wanting instability in an oil-rich region? That's pretty much as optimally equidistant from the most major first-world economies as is possible?
No. Way.
America does want an unstable middle east but tbf the middle east is basically next to Europe, which really felt the past few refugee crises.
America also seem to want an unstable Europe recently
An unstable Europe buys American weapons.
And it easier to scare, control and exploit.
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.
