Apart from that he's a grifter with bank accounts set up in off-shore tax havens and he and his wife have been copping for expensive gifts when they visit world leaders on their very many foreign holidays away from the war-ravaged country.
Him or Putin, who would you want running things? One may be a bit of a blagger, while the other, a known mass-murderer and plunderer of billions in assets who has waged 5 wars over the last twenty years....mate, give up.
 


US being dragged into a confrontation with Iran heavily boosts the chances of Trump winning in November, which is what Netanyahu desperately wants.

A Trump victory would essentially give Netanyahu the green light to proceed with the annexation of the West Bank without facing significant opposition.

I am sure that is what Netanyahu thinks will happen, but I would be surprised if that is what would happen.

Since he left office the Saudis have been helping Trump and his businesses (and people like Musk) out a lot, and its been far more effective help than anything the lobby has done in that it has actually helped them. If he does win, I could well imagine Netanyahu being told that the only way out of this hole is to allow a Palestinian state (in Gaza and parts of the WB at least, but 1967 borders is also a possibility)

I wish I had your optimism
 
Israeli forces raising their flag above bombed and deserted towns in southern Lebanon, provocation of highest degree. Basically ethnic cleansing of the people and clearing the area for a land grab, redrawing Israeli borders, same as northern Gaza.

2 American senators interviewed on ch4 were sickening, talking about total victory for Israel, (40000 killed were Hamas fault) and going all in for regime change in Iran, Lebanon and Gaza.
 


Netanyahu says Israel has ‘taken out’ Nasrallah’s successors and warns Lebanon faces destruction ‘like Gaza’.


One of the things he does really well is produce things that sound crafted to be reasonable to western (in this case US) ears but are actually threatening to anyone from the region or who knows the history.

At the start he talks about how great Lebanon was until "gangs of tyrants and terrorists destroyed it". That was because of Israel (both directly and because of the explusion of Palestinians from Israel). He then argues that the Lebanese people should remove Hezbollah, which is a reminder of the civil-war that wrought such destruction and which the Israelis were deeply involved in. Finally he brings up the spectre of Gaza with a promise that Israel will it do to them next. Theres nothing in that statement that anyone who knows anything would draw comfort from.

I forget where I read this but some journalist pointed out that Hezbollah were deeply unpopular within Lebanon until relatively recently; the assassination of Nasrallah and the ground invasion have changed that.... and if they kick the IDF out again then it might push them into popularity across most of the Lebanese body politic.
