The Arab leaders have the anger of their domestic populations to worry about. Israel knows this and they know the leadership right now is good to them and they're still making a difficult situation for the Arab leaders. Israel's opposition is growing more and more normalized to the point where soon America wpnt be able to punish the Arabs because they have the entire world with them
