I can’t see the Israelis giving up the high ground. They remember their farmers getting shot up from there pre-’67. A farmer on a tractor is good gunnery exercise for a tank crew, and in the Middle East, how do you know the people in charge in X years will maintain old agreements?
I suspect this is talk for talks sake. Which has its place from a diplomacy perspective.
This would be nuts. Israel must never give up the Golan. "Security guarantees" are only so good as the whims of the current Muslim government. Would ISIS or their like honor such a guarantee?
By his way of thinking, a US declaration of independence would never be accepted by international law. We would always be “separatists”.
NK was historically Armenian, and it is still Armenian. The people there don’t want to be ruled by Azeris, and they are prepared to fight to remain free of Azeri rule.
That, and only that, is what gives them “legal” right to be free.
If the Azeris succeed in conquering them, they will base their legal claim on a soviet administrative ruling, from when they were both ruled by the soviets, an entity that doesn’t exist any more.
A bit concerning in that Israel supplies Azerbaijan with so much military technology...
I thought Begin annexed the Golan Heights?
No way Israel should give up the Golan Heights simply because of the wineries located there.
With todays weapons for Israel to give up the Golan would be suicide. It would make all of northern Isreal fish in an islamic barrel, a very shallow barrel.
Isn’t it amazing how China gets a complete pass on TIBET, despite TWO Security Council resolutions in the 1960s demanding they withdraw? Only tiny Israel gets the clubbing in the alley treatment.
