Negotiations don't just happen at the table.
All the work to get to the table is gonna be up to us.
It's gonna mean stabilizing Gaza, rebuilding Gaza, coming up with an acceptable Palestinian partner, selling the Israeli public, which in turn will push the Israeli leadership.
That's going to be on the United States.
That's the history of Middle East peacemaking.
The question is, is this administration prepared to do that work?
This would have to become one of the priorities, probably the leading or one of the two leading foreign policy priorities for this administration.
And the question is, are they prepared to do it?
Well, the phase of going after the Iranian military and nuclear personnel, I think, is probably over because you no longer have surprise.
Israel seems to have already pretty much degraded Iranian air defenses.
So what's left is a number of facilities and installations associated with the nuclear program.
I obviously haven't seen damage assessments of places like Natanz.
not far from Tehran, which is one of the main facilities.
You've got various reactors around the countries.
As I mentioned before, you've got this large underground, hard-to-reach facility at Fordow.
So it could be that the Israelis will have a kind of open-ended campaign along their own time schedule, not rushed.
They'll attack.
They'll do assessment.
If need be, they'll attack some more.
There's still going to be limits, I think, on what they can accomplish.
