relations with Israel once the peace deal with Syria and the formation of a Palestinian State is about to be formalized. After all they are despots. Nonetheless, if they were to make gestures now when it is clear that Israel is fighting tooth and nail against any such denouement, they would appear like complete chumps, not to mention traitors to their Islamist brethren if in return for normalization, Israel does the expected and gives the finger. Best to wait and see if Obama has any plans to follow up on a bright start or simply lose interest as Netanyahu and Lieberman sincerely hope. |
