Israeli media has since flipped and is calling this an important move. Heck, they are even celebrating it. And at the head of it all, Netanyahu.

He won his primaries with 70% of the votes, solidifying his position in his party. And now he will probably wave the military flag, declaring that he is the only one capable to defend Israel from Iran, since he has been trying to convince the world (and congress) for ages to go against Iran, in case you remember his speech from March 2015.

So, take all this and add the Israeli post-trauma and fear of being "pushed into the sea" and you will get this guy reelected, under any terms he deems necessary, even immunity.
