Here's the thing. I don't know how planned all of this is.

The current war(s) clearly serves just to extend Netanyahu's time in power as much as possible, because he knows that as soon as elections come, he's out of the premiership and into (hopefully) jail.

Now that tensions in Gaza have lessened, a war with Iran is the most obvious option. It's true that Netanyahu convinced Trump to abandon the previous nuclear deal, but this was before his criminal indictment (minor point: but after the investigations) and I don't know if he planned that far forward.
