At a huge cost to American taxpayers

Israel and U.S.-aligned Arab countries have what might be a unique chance to forge a regional peace deal given their shared worries about Iran, the chief of Israel's Mossad spy service said on Monday.In a rare public appearance, Joseph (Yossi) Cohen said his agency had formed a task force designed to spot peacemaking opportunities in a region where only two Arab states, Egypt and Jordan, have full ties with Israel."The Mossad today espies a rare opportunity, perhaps for the first time in Middle East history, to arrive at a regional understanding that would lead to a comprehensive peace accord," he told the Herzliya Conference, an annual international security forum near Tel Aviv.
"Common interests, the fight against rivals such as Iran and Jihadist terrorism, the close relations with the White House and channels of communication with the Kremlin all combine to create what might be a one-time window of opportunity," Cohen said.The United States convened Arab and other dignitaries in Bahrain last week to encourage investment in the Palestinian economy that might help renew peace talks with Israel.

Taking advantage of the frightened Sunni Arab monarchy does not help.  The Arab will come back at us with terrorism.  Israel's best bet is anything that lowers the cost of US involvement, the happier the US taxpayer, the more likely Israel get foreign aid.
