Netanyahu exploits October 7th for personal reasons. Let us summarize a little:
HISTORY
There are two questions. One concerns the whole of Palestine, including Gaza, the other concerns Gaza. The latter didn't begin on October 7, 2023, but on June 5, 1967, when the Israelis invaded the enclave, and colonized it for some 40 years. Why couldn't one speak about 'occupied' Gaza? If you establish 21 permanent settlements in the enclave, you are colonizing, not occupying, as that took place in 2007 as a retaliatory measure after Hamas won the only held election in 2006. Actually, it was armed colonizing because the civilian foreigners were protected by their armed forces. Then, one should look at what have happened during the First Intifada of 1987, that prompted Hamas to be created by the Israelis.
NETANYAHU'S MOTIVES
It all began in 2017 with bribery of the Israeli media. Well, not all of them, but those who are aligned with him and or his Likud party. Another bribery emerged in June of the same year and was about the purchase of Dolphin class nuclear capable submarines from Germany. Then, we have his wife, who was embroiled in a deposit receipt scandal that revealed her lifestyle. There is also something about his son, Yair. In other words, the whole Netanyahu family appeared to be corrupt. In 2019, he and his family were indicted for bribery and corruption. Six years later, another corruption scandal emerged. This time with Qatar. On June 25, 2025, Trump was saying "Netanyahu's trial is a witch hunt."
