I think fuentes' theory holds merit: It's that in running for re-election trump was trying to avoid prison, so he was desparately looking for approval from many disparate and conflicting interest groups (some anti-war, some anti-immigration, some pro-immigration) one of which was pro-zionist. So not so much the epstien files but more just impending criminal charges in general (The epstien conspiracy voters were actually one of the interest groups trump wooed).

I also read an article here that suggested trump's bombing of iran during peace talks at the same time as israeli attacks established that if israel attacked then USA would also be a valid combatant (which wasn't the case previously). So this bombing of iran's nuclear facilities earlier was sort of a trap that made it so that israel could rope us into any conflict at any later time- which they did this time, they threatened to strike iran with or without us.

Lastly, I imagine that success in decapitating the venezuelan regime gave trump and his cabinet confidence in going to war.

This whole war seems good for israel but in the long term it doesn't really pan out in the long term for them either. It is sort of the cart leading the horse. There is a theory proposed by prof. Jiang (PredictiveHistory) that this war was catalyzed by a certain apocolyptic eschatology of jews/christians in a couple high places. Whether the Netanyahu or Trump adminstration is captured by this chohort or just pursing short term goals is hard to say, but this is the only explanation I can find for who benefits long-term from this action.
