I think there is strong contrary evidence for this claim. Please don’t think I’m shilling for Likud when I share it, I’m also very opposed to US foreign adventurism.
Invading Iraq was broadly popular among Americans with strong interests in Israeli security, but it was broadly unpopular in Israel’s military establishment. The closest thing to the Israeli military establishment’s consensus view was that invading and occupying Iraq was a poor choice for their own security. Given that, I cannot see why they would agitate for it. I also cannot see how, since the US decision processes that lead to Iraq 2, which were farcical, are well documented and do not suggest that Israel agitated for the invasion and occupation.
There are plenty of things to be mad at the Israeli government for. This is not one of them.
