The head of Chabad-Lubavitch believed that Benjamin Netanyahu was chosen by God to hasten the Messiah aka the Antichrist.
To Netanyahu, the Rebbe said that until the Land of Israel disappears, the Messiah will not return.
Netanyahu's aggressive ethnic cleansing of Gaza and push for settlement in the West Bank are undoubtedly an attempt to fulfill the prophecy of the "coming of the Messiah" in Israel.
