Rashi, on Esth 3:1

“After these things, king Assuerus advanced Aman, the son of Amadathi, who was of the race of Agag: and he set his throne above all the princes that were with him.”

“After these events this remedy was created to be a salvation for Israel. King Ahasuerus promoted Haman For the Holy One, blessed be He, creates a remedy for Israel’s blow before He brings the blow upon them.”
