Ok, we have to analyze the regional relationship between Israel and the leading countries around Israel, to really forge a way forward.
The strategy; to support a dialogue and friendship with the countries around Israel is very good. It works, and has brought a stable relationship.
Even Iran is showing its openness to this, by reducing its chance of making a nuclear bomb.
I know that a lot of people are wary, and we should be wary, but we should also be a part of the diplomatic game, that is essentially what The Middle East is all about.
The big question right now is; what about Ramadan and the ability to access the Temple Mount in this religious festive commemoration of the revelation of the Koran.
My analysis is this.
We need to be really careful not to antagonize those countries around us, that we have found friendship with, and there is really no reason to antagonize the West Bank either.
If we can contain the conflict to a POLITICAL conflict between Hamas and Israel, we are all going to win with that.
There are massive political disagreements we have with Hamas, that we do not have with Egypt or Abu Dhabi or any other Sunni Muslim country.
Muslim countries are very wary about the power we have over sites of holiness to Muslims, the temple mount being the most prominent.
So in order to contain the conflict, we should make no problems for muslims IN GENERAL to access the Temple Mount at Ramadan.
This is not to take away the heroism of the Gaza war and IDF, but to make sure, that we are not antagonizing all muslims.
There is a clear distinction between Hamas and the rulership of Egypt. The muslim Brotherhood (the parent organization of Hamas) is extremely unpopular in Egypt. So we have a clear interest in keeping Egypt on our side.
So, be careful who we support, and who we fight.
G-d bless the will to see a 360 degree view of the conflict and take the wisest steps in action. With a massive respect for what IDF is doing as a fighting force.
