You optimist!!

Unlike you I will be very surprised if this actually works

Uh. I said I’d keep my optimism tempered… And that’s understatement. I expect both sides to race each other to frig this up out of sheer truculence.

I recall the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur war and much much more....there is little chance of any reasonable kind of peace in the ME.

Except for the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty that has lasted almost 45 years... the MFO being heavily supported by the U.S. might have something to do with that.

you are quite correct. However as long as there is this idea that Jews are the most horrible creatures on earth this will linger....it may be suppressed for a bit but it will rear its ugly head again. Things like this are hard to extinguish.

Money closes the gap in most cases.

The Egyptians offer fierce rhetoric against the Israelis and the MFO at home, but are happy as hell to receive funding and military aid from the U.S., as well as having a strong and reliable trading partner to their East.

Conversely, at home the Israelis use the Egyptians as a scapegoat for enabling the Palestinians in Gaza. They gloss over the information and intelligence sharing they have with Egypt to fight Islamic Terrorism in the Sinai (which often times is conducted without notifying the MFO). They, too, are pleased to have a market for their goods in the area (and Egypt buys a lot of it).

Handshakes and kickbacks can overcome the worst of ideologies; everyone has a price.
