18. Netanyahu is "helpful" in saying new gas and oil pipelines to avoid Horrnuz is a solution.

Netanyahu suggested the pipelines could end in Israel.

Doesn't solve the current problem but works well for Israel.

Looks to me that Israel intends to annex Gaza, West Bank, and parts of Lebanon and Syria in the current war.

Israel controlling passage of oil and gas now going through Straits of Hormuz would be a cherry on top for Greater Israel dominating the Middle East.
