There’s a growing belief that the recent escalation between Iran and Israel, as well as the ongoing war in Gaza, may not be purely about military or national security—but rather part of a larger political script designed to benefit key figures like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Let’s begin with Netanyahu. He is currently facing multiple serious corruption cases. Under normal circumstances, these trials would dominate Israeli headlines and could very likely lead to criminal convictions. However, as long as Israel remains engaged in military operations—especially in Gaza—Netanyahu can continue to delay or avoid court proceedings. Wartime leaders are often given special treatment, and the public’s attention is diverted from domestic legal matters to issues of survival and national defense.
What makes this more troubling is that over 60% of the Israeli public reportedly supports ending the war in Gaza, yet it continues. Why? Because peace would mean a return to domestic accountability. The war offers Netanyahu not just political cover, but personal legal protection. As long as the conflict drags on, so does his delay in facing justice.
Now, let’s talk about the Iran-Israel war narrative. The so-called “attack” from Iran on a U.S. base in Qatar raised red flags for many observers. It was widely reported that U.S. personnel and fighter jets were moved out just before the attack—which suggests this was not a surprise. It looked more like a staged or coordinated event meant to send a message, not cause actual harm.
This leads us to Donald Trump, who has been loudly promoting himself as a global peacemaker. He has claimed credit for de-escalating this “war” between Iran and Israel—just like he once claimed he stopped a war between India and Pakistan during his presidency. The pattern here is clear: Trump positions himself as the hero who stops wars before they begin, even if those wars are exaggerated or manufactured for optics.
What’s even more ironic is how Trump, who once mocked former President Obama for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, is now begging for it himself. He has tweeted about it multiple times—mentioning the Nobel Prize at least five times in recent weeks. It’s no longer subtle. He’s using these international tensions to rebuild his image ahead of a political comeback.
Let’s connect the dots:
- Netanyahu needs the war in Gaza to continue to delay his corruption trial.
- Iran gains global attention and is painted as a powerful force for standing up to the U.S. and Israel.
- Trump claims he prevented another major war, building his “hero” persona and campaigning for a Nobel Peace Prize.
In this light, none of these events look organic. Instead, they resemble a political drama—carefully staged to control public opinion, delay legal consequences, and boost personal legacies.
This isn’t about war or peace—it’s about survival for the powerful.
