He has a plan. It will take time, patience, and tricks, but he knows exactly what he’s doing. Israel is walking straight into the deadly trap set by Syria’s president. There are now talks of reaching the point of a historic Israeli-Syrian deal - perhaps even next week. Few Arab states make peace just for the sake of peace. The Arabs may not be the best soldiers in the world, but when it comes to negotiations they can teach even the sharpest Jewish minds a lesson or two. No Arab state and no Arab body ever signs peace with Israel for nothing, not even a security agreement.
Egypt received every last centimeter of Sinai, including the evacuation of settlements, and for fifty years the ability to funnel weapons and propaganda into Gaza, thereby keeping Jerusalem under its shadow. Add to that hundreds of billions from America, and yet Israel remains the reference enemy of its army till this day.
Jordan received half the Dead Sea, billions in Israeli aid, more billions in water, agriculture, security, aerial and intelligence cooperation, and of course the ability to push the burning Palestinian issue far from Amman and deep into Jerusalem, not to mention a symbolic but very meaningful foothold on the Temple Mount.
Perhaps the only Arab countries that ever signed with Israel without demanding territorial concessions, but still receiving money, scientific cooperation and investments, were the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. And as we recall, none of them share a border with Israel. And in fact those are way more moderate and historically Pro-American regimes, with whom peace was a matter of time. Now to Ahmad al Sharaa. One must remember, a man does not put on a suit and suddenly cease to be a jihadist.
(Ed note: All the countries involved in the war of Psalm 83 do in fact touch Israel. This is the inner circle around Israel. None of the countries in Ezekiel 38/39 touch Israel, and are the outer circle around Israel.) (Read More)
