Saddam Hussein tried the same thing, to draw other Islamic countries into the war in Iraq. It didn’t work because Israel trusted us and exercised restraint.

I was supposed to be in Israel at the time, but the State Department cancelled my trip right out from under me! LOL.
Anyway, at the time, the restraint that Israel showed while being bombed by more than a few SCUD missiles in a major population center was beyond admirable, It was miraculous, and showed profound respect for President Bush 41.
I doubt if the current holder of the office elicits the same response.
