THE EXCHANGE OF LETTERS...
WHY THE WASTE OF TIME?
Absolutely no one expect this "stunt", by both
sides, to accomplish anything.
Positioning one's self to counter the argument, "you
are not trying", was the only real goal of this " exchange".
Netanyahu and Abbas know all too well the Administration in
the US
is focused on November and simply not interested in creating any additional
work such as restarting the Quartet with no chance of a progress.
The Arab states, GCC, are simply too nervous over Iran and the
struggle for he Gulf region to answer the phone calls from Abbas.
So..... it looks as if nothing is going to change soon right????
Maybe!!!
If Israel
is actually going to take itself into a conflict with Iran , it would
be wise to neutralize, to the extent possible, the Palestinian Statehood issue.
Solving this issue is impossible in the short term, but Israel could
start the Information Operations / IO / now to show the world there maybe real
light at the end of the tunnel.
That is why the issue of Settlements right now would be a
good start to selling this theme.
It's vital to Israel
that Iran
not be allowed to hold the "high ground" of telling the Arab world
they will fight for Palestinian statehood.
Take away the image of Iran being the
"liberators" of the Arabs / Palestinians.. something none of the
Arabs believe.. and they will stand alone!
Simply put... If Israel
is going to 'deal' with Iran ,
they must be ready to deal with the statehood issue...and thus take away Iran 's link to
Arab causes...
If there is one thing the Arabs understand its.... Iran
is no Arab... at least not yet!!!!
