By design...

Bibi doesn't want peace, he wants constant war because that's the only thing keeping him in office and out of prison.

trump also wants to stay in office and put of prison, so he's gonna follow what's working for Bibi.

There's an even wider material explanation. Israel's territorial ambitions are only threatened by the resources coming from Iran. A moderate Iran would have sanctions lifted and would generate much more real reosiurces than today. Its economy grew 7% per year during the partial reprieve of the JCPOA. An extremist regime means more sanctions, more repression and therefore as little resources as possible spared for resisting Iarael's territorial gains. And that's in the in the interest of a lot of Israelis.

They really don't. The last time an election happened, the majority of them weren't even alive. Israel wouldn't let them vote in an actual government.

Or how he keeps hinting how they are working with someone they consider more reasonable, but can't tell us who because Israel will kill them.

Crazy how that's a legit possibility. Not even "oh that's conspiracy" talk.
