We don't want our soldiers going to Kosovo. Some say regional realities make a new and improved relationship between Israel and the US necessary whether or not the moody peace talks with Syria resume and succeed. It is a mistake on the part of Israel to link the upgraded strategic relationship exclusively or even primarily to an agreement with Syria or the Palestinians. Shoval said a new agreement that would limit Israel's freedom in any way could be disastrous. As far as the direct compensation for a Golan pullout goes, the Pentagon has so far responded favorably to the content of the requests, according to Israeli and US officials.
Money is the sole obstacle.
Almost daily the US emphasizes its commitment to helping Israel maintain its qualitative edge in the region. This often irks other US regional allies like Egypt and Jordan. To compensate, the US tries to maintain strong relations with them. And I think that includes the kind of arms arrangements we've had with out Gulf partners and Jordan and Egypt. Whether or not Syria will join these countries on the list of US aid benefactors has yet to be decided.
