Theory time:

Netanyahu has been losing his grip on power, needs a win.

Tells puppet Joes handlers to release some Iranian money with full understanding that will be used against Israel.

We’ll have a few days/week offensive against Palestine, kill a few hundred “hamas” and then keep a slow simmer for a while so the tension doesn’t go away.

Palestine is Joker to Israel’s Batman. Can’t have one without the other. In fact, one exists solely to prop up the other.
