@#$%^&*!
Israel can afford to sit back (with weapons in easy reach). They’ve got very little to worry about in what’s left of Syria; they’ve got Iran’s proxies in Lebanon to worry about; Gaza won’t attack again until they’ve rebuilt, perhaps 18 months from now; the PA’s attempt at ‘intifada’ has receded for now, replaced by a new campaign to gain recognition as a gov’t at the UN and among the EU; the possibility of the overthrow of the Jordanian monarchy has receded, even the most mouthy and stupid among the “Palestinian” citizens of Jordan can see what’s been happening in Syria and Iraq and knows the same would happen in Jordan; money has been quietly flowing from the GCC into Jordan to keep the monarchy propped and that mostly means support for the refugees; intel-sharing among Israel, Egypt, and at least one Gulf State has been going on for a while.
If Israel gets pulled into a hot war again, whatever the cause turns out to be, it will be sudden and basically unexpected.
Huge event. Rudderless.
ISIS is falling apart. It will become desperate and commit more atrocities, but it is doomed.
