Israel should ignore the elusive pursuit of peace, which if sincere would include the recognition of Israel as described in international law and documented in the San Remo Declaration. Instead, the Arabs will continue to trade hudnas and hints of hudnas in place of sincere treaties of peace. The Abraham Accords are instead being manipulated to now offer a Sunni dictators a presumptive vote in Israeli politics. As Saudi control over Washington has waned in recent years, MBS is now looking for a new method by which to return the diplomatic capital it once had prior to America becoming energy independent. So, this adept game of peace charades is being used to leverage America against Israel, and Israel’s electorate against its own govt, thus seeing both America and Israel surrender their own interests and returning Riyadh to a position of import rather than the isolation which they are better deserving for their actions.
The best way to find peace is thru victory in war. If peace is possible, it will come of its own accord, and chasing it only makes it all the less possible, as is seen with the dubious antics being adopted by the Saudi Prince.
