It's about time. The US administration is finally putting pressure on the Arabs. But the chances are that it will be nowhere near as arm-twisty as what they've done to Israel. Because so much less can be expected from those people.
The Arabs have seldom cooperated with the United States, whereas those pesky Izzy's have reputation for doing so.
Oh, and the pesky Izzy's lack oil. That probably also has something to do with it. Oil seems to have an undue influence on foreign policy.
Quote:
The Obama administration has been frustrated by the lack of movement on all sides but has reportedly been particularly disappointed by how little Arab countries have been willing to do or even promise.

"it's been one of the administrations biggest disappointments"
A disappointment, he says.
Just wait till it's time to put pressure on our European friends - they're far more uppity than the Arabs and Izzy's.
