Fascism has to create new enemies to remain relevant.
Netanyahu knew about Hamas militants moving funds from Iran and Egypt warned him about the impending attack, but he did nothing. I suppose he was preoccupied with containing protests against his judicial reforms but he may have thought letting Hamas to thrive in order to justify his fascism will do him favours. And boy he was wrong! As much as Israel have gone further right, at least they did not let themselves be hoodwinked and many ordinary Israelis have gone back to the streets to protest against Netanyahu and his failure to prevent the attack by Hamas. The opposition will have easy victory in the next election.
He does not need to lose the next election. He needs to be behind bars.
I think he ignored the warnings on purpose to wage this total war.
He was definitely betting on stoking nationalism to flare up and create smoke to cover his corruption.
