What I don't get is why?

It's not a particularly dense region of resources, nor is it a particularly enjoyable climate. Like at least Iraq had some oil or something, otherwise you get a desert. Yay. Desert. What are we going to do with more desert?

If you're talking about the government in general, the answer is Zionism. Literally that. It's not driven by any kind of logic any more than Nazis had logical reasons to enslave the Slavs for their 1000 year Reich. If you mean only Netanyahu, he needs to extend the war so he doesn't go to prison over the shit he got up to before October 7th.

There are certainly economic incentives and parts of the country are quite nice, but I think, at the end of the day, the core incentive for Netanyahu and his goons is just ethnic supremacism. "We must show these dirty foreigners who God has granted this land to"
