The theory that I heard (and this is just me reporting what I have heard and seen online) is that he was a huge pro Israeli voice, with an enormous youth following - the largest in the US, and probably the world.

But the Israelis knew, from surveillance, that he was wavering in his support, and starting to question if the US should be funding Israel. He had rejected offerings of enormous sums of money from Israel for his foundation, and said no to a personal request from Netanyahu to come visit Israel. And he was moving FURTHER in that direction.

So - and this is the theory - they decided to do away with him while they could call him a hero of Israel.

There's tons of people who are anti Israel. But they don't have his following, and weren't previously huge prominent supporters of Israel, that changed their mind.
