All of the Iranian top echelon in one house was absolutely irresistible - never mind Netanyahu's corruption charges.
As yo your last sentence, purely confected as a sentiment. The numbers may be true. The consequences of war. Anti-Israeli is your obvious stance.

"But he also has a duty to defend Israel and his public expect that.”
Yes, absolutely yes, I agree. Except
is he actually defending Israel? Look at it like this, how many Israeli casualties has Hezbollah managed to cause? Don't get me wrong, even one is unacceptable, but what is a proportionate response? Is the killing of hundreds if not thousands of Lebanese people justified? Its is inconceivable that all of them are jihadi militants bent on the destruction of Isreal; are most of them just innocent collateral damage?
Now, tell me what is likely to happen, their family, children will think either, 'oh best not mess with Israel again', or think, 'the Israelis killed my family who were simple bakers - I want to kill every Israeli/Jew’ (because they are the same, no)? They have managed to radicalise an entire new generation - well done Bibi!
Short termism - he has managed, I suspect for his own ends, to prolong the suffering on both sides.

Not a problem he’ll sign an Executive Order instructing the volcano to stop erupting. And then take it to the Supreme Court when the volcano seems to completely ignore him.
