In late 2020, U.S. General Mark Milley advised then-President Trump not to attack Iran, arguing that military action would lead to an unnecessary war. Fast forward five years, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is engaged in an escalating conflict with Iran, fueled by Trump's dismissive approach to international law. Netanyahu’s military objectives have shifted away from mere self-defense as Israel conducts extensive strikes against Iranian targets, while Iran has retaliated with its own attacks. The situation raises questions about the legitimacy of Israel's actions and the role of international law in contemporary conflicts.
