Easy to do after killing everyone there. Better late than never I guess
Gaza has been effectively obliterated, but the West Bank is still there, despite being under attack
If obliterating Gaza is rewarded with "normalization" then the obliteration of the West Bank is the next logical step. Sprinkled in with another invasion of Lebanon and expanding the invasion of Syria. After that Egypt and Jordan and then Iraq and Saudi Arabia and the Gukf states. Israels wants to expand into an empire of "greater Israel" allowing them to keep any gains by invasion, ethnic cleansing and genocide only encourages them to more.

If a far-right German politician wants something, would you assume that "Germany, the country wants" that thing? /f
The far right is part of the government. Smotrich is minister of finance. Netanyahu is prime minister. Ben Gvir is minister of national security. If we accept the current government to be democratically elected, then we need to accept the government to be representative of the country.
If the AfD was to become part of a German government i would take the suggestions and demands from them and closely aligned groups as representative of the political will of Germany as a country too. Because that is the role of democratically elected governments, irrespective of whether the people elected are democrats themselves.
Then again, the fascists are only part of the government at this time. And while Netanyahu's policy is expansionist, he is unlikely to be entirely on board with this idea. And outside the government, the idea also does not seem to enjoy wide support (cf. the months-long protests against the new government.) In short, I still think you should not write "Israel wants ..."
