In reply to the discussion: Are the so-called Palestinian protestors supporting Palestinians or are they just supporting the convicted felon? [View all]The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)112. You Seemed To Think It A Red Herring Before
But neighboring powers are disinclined to succor Hamas, owing both to local grudges and to the place of Hamas in the sectarian strife between Shia and Sunni, which is the chief focus of US policy. Neighboring Arab powers assisted Israel in fending off direct attack by Iran. The Egyptian army has no love for Brotherhood types. There is some possibility of a resolution which creates something which could, without squinting too hard, pass for a state under some permutation of the Palestine Authority, with backing by neighbors who envision its creation as a cessation of the conflict, not a further stage in its progress. The neutering of Hamas is the key, nothing else can be done till that is achieved.

Bingo. The negotiation tactics are essentially blackmail. Do X, Y and Z or we'll help Trump win.
