Netanyahu may benefit politically from the continuation of the war in the Middle East, as it may delay his imprisonment on corruption charges.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could benefit politically from a prolonged war in the Middle East, said Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Government in Washington, D.C. This statement was made after Iran's attacks on Israel on Saturday on CCTVplus  by analyst Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Government. He was quoted by UNN .

So far, Netanyahu has done his best to abandon the ceasefire, as has President Biden. The reality is that Biden's and Netanyahu's goals here should be different. But Biden has yielded to Netanyahu over the past seven months. And Netanyahu is interested in expanding the war and prolonging the war, because when this war ends, his political career will end, and that will also be the moment when his prison sentence is likely to begin, so he's not interested in actual de-escalation, diplomacy, or a ceasefire. And the question is that if it is in the interests of the United States, then at some point Biden has to put the interests of the United States above the interests of Israel and Netanyahu.

- Parsi's re-enactment.

Details

Parsi, who is also the founder of the National Iranian American Council, noted that the Biden administration has consistently supported Israel's six-month siege of Gaza despite the US interest in achieving peace in the region.

On Saturday, Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said in a statement that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke by phone with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to discuss the "urgent threat" in the Middle East, reaffirming his unwavering support for Israel's defense.

Recall

Iran fired about 300 drones, ballistic and cruise missiles toward Israel on Saturday evening in response to Israel's April 1 attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which killed seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard officers, including two senior commanders.

Israel claims to have intercepted about 99 percent of the shells and drones launched at their country.

Optional

For almost three years, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been in court. He is accused of corruption and bribery. However, at the end of June, it was reported that judges considered the charges against the prime minister to be difficult to prove. In October 2019, his lawyers stated that they had received an expert legal opinion that he had the right to accept gifts from close friends.

It is currently believed that this trial, including possible appeals, is unlikely to end before 2028-2029. And given the war in Israel, the trial could drag on for even longer.
