He made a deal and it didn't end exceptionally well for him. <br /><br />Both sides have never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity, but the consequences have tended to be worse for Israel. Because it held out for so long in dealing with Arafat, Hezbollah and Hamas rose to undermine him and further challenge Jerusalem. As you might imagine, that could be a problem. <br /><br />Worse, it's a problem that shows no indication of easing up. Israel hasn't managed to decimate Hezbollah, but ISIS and Assad have been doing good work of it. Now there's a very real possibility that ISIS (and/or al Nusra) will be on Israel's border and become its new "peace partner." <br /><br />The longer this goes on, the bleaker it gets.
