Here's what I see.
Israel is a rogue state. There are people who have seized control much like they did in the US. Doesn't matter what you think of BiBi but I'm inclined to believe he was a Trump like figure at the beginning, but lost control of the bureaucracy much like has happened in the US.
When Trump decided to move the embassy to Jerusalem the death-cult type Jews, the Zionists & Evangelicals got a RAGER of a hard on and ever since then they've been barely containing themselves.
The Syrian operation was not only a mission to take out some rebel strongholds but was also a honey pot for the Israelis. (sad, but for war mongers they idea of killing is like a frustrated sexual urge so honey pot is the right metaphor here)
Since Syria the Israeli's have barely been able to keep their dicks in their pants. It's not covered much in Western press but Russia has been having to deal with increased chicanery ever since the allies sent that handful of missiles into Syria.
I think they think the US will have their backs no matter what. I think they think Russia will respond. I think they think this will hurry along their Armaggedon.
They have only just begun work on the 3rd Temple so I'm not sure why they are so anxious but I don't know enough about their cockamamie prophecy to understand.
I think the white hats internationally are making sure they can properly sanction Israel. That Israel exposes itself, commits war crimes, violates international law, etc. From that position there will be new negotiations that will set Israel back. (but will never stop them, let's face it.)
