Netanyahu is pretty unlikely to survive the next elections because of this, so that's unlikely he would approve of this.
And your conspiracy theory requires literally thousands of people to be in on it.

Previous Israeli PMs involved in wars have all retired within two years or so. That’s what makes this conspiracy theory hard to believe. It would mean Netanyahu, the consummate politician thought “yeah, my future success depends on tanking the diplomatic process with Saudi Arabia and instead launching a bloody war with Hamas.” Yeah, right.
- Yom Kippur War (1973). Golda Meir, stepped down 1974.
- First Lebanon War (1982). Menachem Begin, stepped down 1983.
- Gaza War, Operation Cast Lead (2008). Ehud Olmert, stepped down 2009.
Not listing Levi Eshkol because he died of a heart attack a couple years after the Six Day War (1967).
But sure, the man in charge during the biggest fuck up in the history of the Israeli state deliberately fucked up so he could extend his career. And this fuck up can’t be played off as accidental or bad luck, it’s a direct consequence of his policy of coddling Hamas.
If you believe that he did it deliberately, welcome to my Bridge Emporium, we’re running discounts today!
If that conspiracy is true, you can't assume he knew how bad it would be. This Hamas attack was much more sophisticated than anything they did before.
Also Netanyahu doesn't look like the kind of a guy that has shame that would make him step down.
It would be because it was so bad. But if this was something that Israel typically experiences, then I don't think Netanyahu would have anything to worry about.
Also he still is in his position and it is just prediction that he will be removed in the future. That doesn't mean much until it actually happen. He already supposed to be gone, but the coalition fell apart.
