There's a very simple concept that the establishment foreign policy guild of Washington will never accept: Arab states make peace with Israel when Israel is strong and when its alliance w/ the US is strong, not when Israel and its alliance with the US are weak.

Let's turn this around: There's a very simple concept that certain people will never accept: Israel makes peace with Arab states when Arab states are strong and when their alliances are strong, not when Arab states are weak. If this isn't *also* true, why not?

Absolutely was the case. US had backed Israel in 73 war and decisively showed that the Arabs couldn’t win even with Soviet arms.

Arab states agreed to this deal in 2013 and 2016. Netanyahu rejected it. Somehow Trump/Netanyahu managed to lose 3 out of 4 Arab countries.https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/report-netanyahu-rejected-peace-plan-proposed-by-kerry-at-secret-2016-meeting-481969 …
