TL;DR

Members of Israel's ruling Likud party, which now controls Israel's far-right coalition government, reportedly planned to assassinate former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in the 1970s due to their dissatisfaction with his diplomacy during the Arab-Israeli War. Kissinger's efforts at statesmanship obstructed long-term solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and he prioritized American interests over the Israeli state and Jewish people. Despite past animosity, Likud is now led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has adopted a similar approach of using conflict to maintain power.
