"Netanyahu backed himself into a corner" - Ali

“If the Arab governments do not come together in a way that Netanyahu described, Israel is going to be stuck, and that is probably not what Netanyahu wants, but he's backed himself into a corner on that,” said Javed Ali, a former counterterrorism official in federal government and associate professor of practice at the University of Michigan. “If there is no alternative force that's going to step in, and the Palestinian Authority isn't part of that post-conflict structure, or they're not a partner in that, it's going to be very difficult to for Israel to extricate themselves.”
