From the linked article… “One source who was on the call said Blinken sounded frustrated when he briefed the ministers on recent talks with Israel over a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal.
Blinken said the administration felt it was "close to a breakthrough" before the assassination in Tehran.”
The U.S. is getting played like a fiddle. Netanyahu will say whatever he needs to keep the weapons flowing. His party's founding charter says that Israel will rule over all Palestinian territory and that's exactly what he's working towards.
I think it's more of a case of Netanyahu going full rouge and starting shit as the US is in sensitive negotiations to release hostages. Don't forget that Bibi met with Trump before leaving the US. Who does it help to not give Biden the win of hostage release?
Absolutely, Netanyahu is pushing for a Trump presidency. But that too is in service of expansionist goals, as Netanyahu knows Trump won't be troubled by little things like human rights or international law as Israel consolidates control over Gaza while continuing its settlement of the West Bank. Nor is that mutually exclusive with Bibi saying whatever needs to be said to keep the weapons flowing in the interim - the massacre in Gaza is not possible without the sustained flow of western arms.
