    Isreal has de-facto veto power over any deal since they can just fly over and blow up something if a deal gets signed that they don’t like and most of the US political establishment will not only not criticize them but they’ll defend them.

      They can fly over and drop some bombs, but that’s about it. They don’t have the ability to fight a protracted war or to occupy anything larger than, say, part of South Lebanon. No matter how powerful their military is, they don’t have the population to sustain an intensive conflict of any scale or duration. All they can do is cause random destruction.
