Pre-planned Israeli escalation in Middle East?

The US has heightened its presence in the Middle East in recent days, sending aircraft carriers and a fighter squadron to the region as it vows to help defend Israel.

Israel’s recent escalatory attacks in the Middle East have raised concerns of a potential regional conflict or even a world war. The authorship of recent attacks in the region remains disputed, with Israel retaliating in various countries, including Iran.

Former US Defense Department analyst Michael Maloof suggests that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have pre-planned recent events in cooperation with the United States, aiming to achieve certain regional goals.

Speculation surrounds Netanyahu’s motives in prolonging recent conflicts to maintain power and control over Palestinian territories. The US and allies like the UK and Jordan are prepared to assist Israel in defending against potential threats from Iran.
