Dore Gold, a former Netanyahu adviser who remains a confidant of the prime minister, said the Israeli leader “is determined to make the peace process work” and show “considerable Israeli flexibility.” “At the same time, he’s cognizant of the fact that Israel is in a much more dangerous neighborhood,” he said, referring to the civil war in neighboring Syria and the takeover of Gaza by Hamas militants.

As Dore Gold, who would later become Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations, explained in 1991: “One of the reasons that the deal in Sinai was possible is that basically Israel traded away territory but acquired 120 miles of demilitarization in exchange.” To do the same with the Golan, said Gold, “You’d have to put the Syrian Army somewhere behind Damascus.”
