Subject: Re: Israel will lose now
Interesting.

So another reason to cease combat operations is so that the deals/pacts can continue towards passage? As you say, greater security and economic opportunity is the payoff for Israel. (I'm not sure how that improves their security, unless part of that is cutting off funding for Hamas and Hezbollah, though I think most of that is from Iran.)

At some point those pacts might have to be canceled simply because the blowback for entering them would be too great for the Saudis and others, because of Israeli atrocities (or, more politely, "excesses") in Gaza.
