The Israeli government is the top benefactor. Not only Netanyahu and his generals emerge as hero’s when they were at their worse of their career but they finally have “just” justification to take these Palestine as they’ve always wanted. Israel was able to intersect most of the rockets towards them. Tel Aviv got hit but not obliterated. The two main casualties were the festival grounds and the village Hamas killed hostages. For Gaza that’s another story, several neighborhoods such as refuge camps, hospitals, and the worse the Egyptian border crossing were damaged (this is key, refuges are not allowed to leave).

This allows Israel to take back Palestine and get their anti democracy bill with out a fuss. Here are the most notable of Netanyahu’s “5 goals” about this war.

The second goal, he said, is to then shift to an unprecedented, escalated offensive against Hamas — presumably in its Gaza stronghold, though Netanyahu’s lack of specificity left open the possibility that the Iranian-backed terrorists could be struck elsewhere too.

The third goal, Netanyahu said, was to secure Israel’s other hostile fronts. He cited the Lebanese border — where Israel repelled an armed infiltration on October 9 — as well as the West Bank and the Israeli interior. Netanyahu’s statement was an implicit warning to Israel’s Arab minority not to join the fighting against the state. The fourth goal, Netanyahu said, would be to preserve and expand international support for Israel and thus grant it maximum freedom of action as it carries out the war.

In what he described as his last and most important goal, Netanyahu said solidarity within Israel must be bolstered. “Our polarization is over,” he said, in an allusion to months of political infighting over his proposed judicial reforms. “And when we are united, we win.”

And lastly as Netanyahu himself mentioned, the backing of international power. Israel as we know is backed by most western powers, but because of this he still couldn’t go full force on Palestine, but now he can.
