I'm not so sure he sees it that way. He was already unpopular, but now has a unity government backing him in a perpetual war that he may view as cause to engage in permanent expulsions of Palestinians in the occupied territories.
Netanyahu has long reminded me of Putin, and Putin's rise to power was facilitated by the apartment bombings in Chechnya that he had a hand in. Would I put it past Netanyahu to use Oct 7 as a power grab? I would not. Whether Israelis will let that happen remains to be seen.
