If Netanyahu stepped down tomorrow, apparently the most likely successor would be Israel Katz. He would maintain basically the same foreign policy.

But his corruption trial would go ahead. Lots of recent Israeli government decisions appear to be best understood through this lens.

It's unsurprising but very, very depressing.

In this specific case of the Iranian nuclear program, I believe the highly-enriched uranium weights more in the balance than any other domestic reason for Netanyahu to act. There’s no way any Israeli government will willingly let Iran have a nuclear weapon.

Sure, but he's been complaining about Iran getting nukes for 30 years now. It's interesting that this happened round about the time there was a split in his coalition about the Orthodox and IDF service.
