Israel

Seems to me the timing is right to come to some sort of a deal.

In fact, this Saudi position does not seem crazy.

One thing that needs to be explained to me: why can't Gaza and the West Bank have different statuses? Could a Palestinian State be formed in the West Bank with Gaza TBD after 5 years of disarmament or something along those lines? I can see why Israel cannot be seen to be rewarding Hamas. But at the same time, they don't seem to be able to "finish the job." Israel needs to fight quickly and remain flexible. So why not give the carrot to the West Bank and the PA since they've already given the stick to Gaza?
