With UAE deal, Israel opens tentative new chapter with Gulf Arabs

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

It isn’t so much that as it is the West Bank. The deal is partially contingent on Israel not building new settlements (which - in my opinion - doesn’t nearly go far enough). If not Netanyahu, the some future PM is going to violate that stricture. This is going to cause other Arab states to pressure the UAE to give up their goodies and withdraw from the agreement.

I look at it from a fundamental standpoint: the zionists have no place in this region and they must departure the same way they came. It's not a matter of a west bank or a Gazza; it is a matter of departing this region because they have no place here.

Disagree. The ‘ancestral home’ argument carries substantial weight. That particular bit of the Middle East belonged to Jews for at least two millennia before Mohammed was a gleam in the milkman’s eye.

The trouble isn’t that they’re there, it that they don’t feel that other people with a legitimate  claim merit equal consideration.
