He was famous for adding “Carthago delenda est” (Carthage must he destroyed) to the end if even unrelated political speeches. Other things mattered, too, but he reminded everybody in Rome that their first priority was to destroy their ancient enemy. I assume OP is likening this to that; Israeli politicians fixating past the point of reason on the destruction of their declared enemy.
