With regards to the ongoing Israeli
military campaign in Gaza, the point of Benjamin Netanyahu's supposed personal and political interests in the
perpetuation of the military occupation has been raised by several analysts and journalists. Marc Champion, for example,
writing for Bloomberg, highlighted the fact that the Israeli Prime Minister is currently "fighting corruption charges in court" (it being implicit that it is of course usually harder to investigate and to condemn incumbent national leaders). Netanyahu, in addition, will "face a political reckoning over Oct. 7's security failures as soon as the war in Gaza ends."
Thus, writes Champion, "under cover of the country's blinding rage and deep yearning for long-term security, Netanyahu is fighting to secure his own political survival." Champion and other analysts may or may not be spot on, with regards to Netanyahu's motivations and calculations. The point is that personal, private and business interests (sometimes even involving shady deals) may indeed shape, to some degree, foreign policy decisions. And the issue is more outstanding in Ukraine than perhaps anywhere else.
Comment: Delusions, such as that displayed in the last line, in addition to the rapid deterioration of NATO member states, and Israel's escalating genocide in Gaza, does not bode well for the future of the West and its vassals.
We can take the above opinion piece as perhaps a hint as to how the West has might provoke Russia next.
