@evan Occam's razor says Netanyahu is actually extending the war for reasons of internal Israeli politics (though it's a boon for his allies like Trump and probably Putin). Netanyahu is clinging to power, if he doesn't appease the religious fundamentalists who are keeping him in power he'll not only lose his job but likely end up in jail. All of these players are "me first" type of sociopaths. Sure they'll work with each other, and Bannon will try to make it look like he's powerbrokering for Trump and the Republicans will try to make this worse for Biden, but Netanyahu is making choices purely for Netanyahu. Ideology is simply window dressing, part of the con and their own self aggrandizement, for most sociopaths. Even if we concede that Biden is in a very difficult situation, he really is doing a lot of this to himself.
