They desperately want to be an oil player. Specifically, they want a cut of the BTC pipeline now that the promised line out of Iraq is a long shot, and they line, running through Tbilisi, to not get cut. It was cut by bombs in the war, so they put the oil on trains. Russians cut the rails.<br/><br/>Appeasing Russia is Israel's best energy security play, and Russia doesn't give a damn about Palestinians. <br/><br/>As for the US, Israel has been a miltiary liability for the past decade, at least. It will be leaned on very, very hard to let up on Palestine, and we'll see if there's enough remaining leverage. Israel has been involved in two disastrous summer defeats in three years.
