Yoram Ettinger:
A retreat from the mountain ridges of Judea and Samaria – which are a fixed asset of national security –
in return for an accord with Saudi Arabia – which is a variable asset of national security in the violently tenuous Middle East –
would transform Israel
from a war and terror-deterring country and a force-multiplier for the US,
to a war and terror-inducing country and a burden upon the US.
It will
exacerbate Middle East instability,
intensify the lethal threat to the pro-US Arab regime,
threaten the exportation of Middle East oil,
enhance the fortunes of Iran’s Ayatollahs, anti-US Sunni terror organizations, Russia and China,
while dealing a blow to vital US interests.
