Bennett’s article was a joint attempt to make Iran angry. Bennett, in his mind, thought it would be a good strategy to establish himself as the next one on the line by publishing that article. However, as expected, when one sits in a sinking boat, he will sink with it too, not the other way around.
On the other hand, Netanyahu thought that by presenting Bennett (who himself admitted he ordered military action against Iran on two occasions during his one-year premiership when being at the helm of a shaky coalition) as the next possible successor west would be alarmed and so would support Netanyahu against a worse successor.
Beyond the minds of two rivals (Netanyahu and Bennett), it is predictable that due to the immense damage Netanyahu’s camp imposed on the West, this camp as a whole will be isolated by the West (and the global south).
UPDATE 1:
The issue with Bennett’s ideas is that he thinks the existence of the Jewish state contradicts the existence of the Palestinian state. He should be shown that this is not correct.
UPDATE 2:
This is no longer the Israel/Hamas war. This is now Netanyahu’s war for survival. It is predictable that more right-wing Israeli politicians turn away from Netanyahu’s personal war and pursue alternative approaches for the security of the region.
Opportunities are brief in politics. Netanyahu’s war provides an opportunity for alternative policies.
