Netanyahu finally got what he wanted on Iran by appealing to an audience of one [View all]

JERUSALEM—The Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel was the greatest security failure of Benjamin Netanyahu’s career. Less than three years later, the Israeli prime minister is pursuing what may become his defining strategic achievement: toppling the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The campaign, undertaken side by side with the Americans, would transform the region’s strategic landscape with Israel as an unrivaled military power. And it would mark a stunning success for Netanyahu, who has long argued that the threat from Tehran isn’t only Israel’s problem but America’s as well.

Central to that success was Netanyahu’s belief that the most important audience for Israel’s case against Iran was the American president.

“He poured his efforts into an audience of one—President Trump,” said Aviv Bushinsky, a former adviser to Netanyahu.
