the Iranian issue is not a solution to Israel’s underlying problems in the Middle East. The letter below only reinforces this reality. No matter how much Israeli decision-makers may wish otherwise, there is no escaping the Palestinian issue.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding here about Israel’s position in the Middle East in general, and in the Gulf in particular. The Israeli government is likely the last actor Gulf states would pursue full normalization with under current regional conditions. But there is no need to look far afield. Consider Israel’s relationships with Jordan and Egypt — states with which it already has peace agreements, and whose ties with Israel carry the highest strategic importance. Will the Iranian issue fundamentally improve those relationships? The answer is clearly no. Time and again, I return to the same point, saying: the Iranian issue is not a solution to Israel’s underlying problems in the Middle East. The letter below only reinforces this reality. No matter how much Israeli decision-makers may wish otherwise, there is no escaping the Palestinian issue.

What's much more likely for the Gulf states is a plan to get along with an angry but surviving Iranian regime not a rapprochement with Israel. x.com/BarakRavid/sta…
