Netanyahu is one of the Old Establishment foot soldiers. Perhaps you just don't recognize it. Their goal has always been international "Acceptance."
Normalization of relations with Arab nations is the supreme goal everything else must serve. That means a promise on a piece of paper, embassies and some tourism $$$ flowing in, is enough to put Israel into strategic disadvantage, sacrifice its security and defenses, and sell out the heartland. Pieces of land are just bargaining chips, not part of the essence of our heritage from God.
