Escalating Tensions: How Netanyahu and Israel Benefit from Trump's Iran Strikes

Analysts argue that while Trump's Iran strikes serve Israel's interests, they contradict the US president's own criticism of regime change policies in the Middle East.
The recent US air strikes that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani have sent shockwaves across the globe, raising concerns about the potential for a broader conflict in the Middle East. However, according to analysts, the escalation of tensions may ultimately benefit one key player in the region: Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The assassination of Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has been widely interpreted as a move to weaken Iran's influence in the region. But some experts argue that this action contradicts US President Donald Trump's own criticism of regime change policies in the Middle East, which he has previously denounced as costly and ineffective.
