so it's a given that Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah/ISIS will carry on the battle. With Arab skin in the game, plus U.S. control... and a commitment to a Two-State Solution, we could be there for the reconstruction...show some "Soft Power"...gain trust and confidence among the majority of Gazans...ID new competent Palestinian leaders and build relationships with them. Finally, give Hamas, et al, no political capital with the people...maybe even soften the Right Wingers in Israel.
Israel is critical to our geo-political presence in the region...but maybe Chris can add a sage opinion on this question.
