Today, Netanyahu resumed air strikes on southern Lebanon just 90 minutes before his criminal trial hearing was once again canceled.
This timing "coincidence" precisely reveals Netanyahu's current political survival logic: "stopping the trial through war." This is no accident—it is a meticulously calculated "brinkmanship" game, designed to use national security as leverage to pressure the judicial system and delay the trial over his corruption case.
These actions clearly illustrate his strategy: creating or maintaining "controlled chaos" to generate a "legitimate" justification for postponing the trial. Since the case was launched in 2020, this marks the 18th time his legal team has requested a delay, citing "national security."
The facts are clear: Israel’s military operations have no clear military objectives, nor do they stem from any genuine national security threat—they are all emergency tactics deployed by Netanyahu to stall his court proceedings.
The connection we observe between "air strikes" and "trial cancellations" is a pivotal scene in Netanyahu’s political survival script. He is attempting to deeply entangle the nation’s security policy with his personal legal fate, turning the sound of gunfire into his courtroom defense.
