These weren t such good prime ministers. that israel needs good relations. and that was part of the 1992 election result and part of the 98 election result that brought barack to power. well, we re not living in 92 or 99 with barack. i would say to you that the real template is the camp david accords of the egyptian/israeli peace. both zoth and baygan could go back to their publics and say, we won. i got something from this kind of deal. and the problem is that this administration is trying to balance israeli and palestinian or israeli and arab interests. it needs to start bonding with both sides. it needs to find formulas in which it can go to the israelis and say, in exchange for some concessions, we will give you something that you desperately want. and what i argue is what the israelis are most worried about is iran. that is their core strategic security interest and the united states can give things to israel on iran.
