I think fears of a recession are overblown. It looks like, against all odds, the Fed is pulling off a "soft landing."

Regardless, Netanyahu's right-wing-nut coalition has 64 members of Knesset. Were elections to be held today, that would be decimated, shrinking to perhaps 40 out of 120, if that.

Shortly after, one hopes, Netanyahu would stand trial for the many corruption charges he was already indicted on and go to jail for a decade or four.

Indeed, that could very well open a sudden opportunity for peace. One that the Palestinians don't once more miss, one hopes.
