I think actually they are in a bit of panic mode because the US might want to get out from the ME and focus on China. They want a guarantee that Iran won't be able to come on its foot again in at least 10 years. That's all my guess, though.

Maybe by starting to behave as if the Palestinian population that live on the territory they control have equal rights? Like stopping West Bank colonization projects?
On rocket attacks, Hamas was sticking relatively well to the ceasefire (again, talking about Hamas, not other groups). The blockade was tightened by Israel post-takeover, which then lead to a resumption of rocket attacks.
By launching rockets? Are you serious?
How can you argue in good faith that launching unguided rockets indiscriminately over civilian population centers as “sticking to the ceasefire”?
I think this article explains it well: https://www.richardhanania.com/p/how-trump-proved-foreign-po...
Israel claims to be threatened by its neighbors. Israel claims to want peace with countries in the region. Neighboring countries have repeatedly stated that a precondition to normalization is a just solution for Palestinians. But Israel does not want a just solution.
In other words, the problem is entirely self-inflicted. Israel wants peace, but without making any concessions on the issue of Palestine. So instead it pursues a system of “peace through violence” - just like it does in the West Bank and Gaza.
Besides, Israel has since made peace with Egypt and Jordan.
Now, back to the present day. Palestinians live under a system of occupation and blockade and recently genocide. This is not a just situation. It is also not sustainable without continued repression and use of force. There is no way that Israel will be welcomed into the wider ME under this regime.
What is this “plan”?
> Palestinians live under a system of occupation and blockade
What did the Palestinians do to not end up in this situation?
> genocide
War is not genocide. And remarks by some of the politicians are not a proof of genocide as well.
> There is no way that Israel will be welcomed into the wider ME under this regime.
Israel just need to be stronger to survive as they did in the first 20-30 years of their statehood.
As for the peace treaties:
Jordan simply did not have the ability to fight Israel any longer, or to deal with Palestinian factions operating in its territory.
Egypt wanted its land back after failing to reclaim it in 1973.
> Egypt wanted its land back after failing to reclaim it in 1973.
It seems you are aware that peace deal with Egypt is what got Sinai back to Egypt.
I have read your other comments. I am not going to engage further, for two reasons:
1. You’re a bit late to the party, and I primarily respond to engage with readers.
2. You’re clearly coming in with a closed mind.
Also, I am not sure how you can imply that you are unbiased.
