On Israel Update, Michael Doran discusses how the United States has demonstrated that its fighting willingness is strong if it can fight from the air and maintain very few casualties. This is a bad signal for every rogue regime. Doran explains that the memorandum of understanding is just a tactical retreat and that hostilities will resume, eventually. He also examines what the document means for Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu’s election bid.
