Nthanyahu. There has never been an Israeli leader less liked by the West (given the broader necessities of security vis-a-vis Arab League, into/across Africa, and general (good, for once in everyone's lifetime) trade movements between the Arab League which, despite never liking each other that much, as all know, see the future as Arab League bloc necessity. One of the most influential of all possible blocs in the coming decade or so (counters all kinds of forces whether it's Russia, China, or the US). I.e., this generation of Arab diplomats will not accept a Chinese/Russian/US (whomever) imposition. You see the Saudis/Iranians and the Turks playing a very long "game" (a necessary one). What gets lost here is the numeous Arab and even Israeli trade agreements which, until two-state (or three, or whatever) is settled, will always be a disastrous distraction.
The US can take Egypt and Saudi Arabia, economically, and in defense terms, i.e., the entire bloc (same as China/EU or whomever), now, whereas 60 years ago, or even 20, it couldnt.
There will be the inevitable Israeli response, already happening, but if they go in again (to Gaza, full-scale) you might see a legitimate war (not civil). Northern (Syrian, etc) and from Lebanon have been camped for months now. No one wants that to happen, not the US, nor the Palestinians (nor the Israelis). It's a complete clusterfeck of a situation which the world by and large let go for 20 years (due to regional security issues and other "more important" places/positions). Its status is firmly back near the top of the world's agenda, and has to be, for Israeli security itself (deals with the Gulf region and a novel, which I would put my entire political blood into, scheme to incorporate Israeli know-how regarding irrigation to solve the water issues with Jordan and via Arab League as bloc, an already touted green wall from once side of northern africa to the other, which the Saudis, too, have helped engineer (of late).
I’m interested in what you are saying. But that post has so many clauses, sub clauses, parentheses etc, that I’m totally lost. Can you explain it like I’m 5?
