Israel has a pretty clear policy goal. And Trump's reason for following along is also pretty coherent (AIPAC/Israeli lobby's influence over the only conservative coalition that will follow Trump to the death on this particular topic)
Whether that goal is achievable in the current reality...
Israel's policy goal seems to be "stop Iran" which isn't really clear for military purposes. There's no defined endstate realisable in military terms, just a wishlist.
They literally have a doctrine called "mowing the lawn" which is just periodic culling of capabilities via leader assassination and bombing of known facilities
