Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly hoped to provoke Iran into attacking Israel to trigger a war and consequently delay the upcoming elections, which he believed he would lose. This strategy, according to the report, involved a series of "frenzied provocations" against Iran, sometimes occurring hourly, aimed at eliciting a preemptive strike.
Netanyahu had four days remaining to achieve this goal of postponing the elections. The report suggests that this interpretation of events, initially dismissed by some as extreme, has become clearer as pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place. The ultimate objective was to achieve the "paramount goal" of postponing the perceived inevitable electoral defeat.
