Israel's likely next prime minister, Naftali Bennett, is even more hawkish than Netanyahu — bad news for anyone hoping a leadership change ends the Iran war.

• Bennett is the front-runner to replace Netanyahu and openly says he is "tougher on security" than Netanyahu.
• He wants regime change in Iran, dismantling of its nuclear program, and a cap on Iran's missiles — and admits it could take years.
• His justification: Iran had to be attacked before it became "unattackable" by building up defenses, not because of any imminent nuclear threat.
• Bennett is already pointing to Turkey as the next threat, signaling more wars ahead.
• Trump's promise of a 2-to-3-week war has stretched into talk of a multi-year campaign for regime change.

Outlook: Even if Netanyahu loses the next election, Israel's war policy toward Iran and the region is likely to continue or get harder.
