Wondering what they decide...I would guess they will have to hurry up before Israeli elections if they want to deal with Netanyahu for sure
https://www.smh.com.au/world/middle-...18-p50gst.html
Israeli officials already had been urging the Trump administration not to release its proposal too close to the elections, afraid that a plan demanding concessions from Israel would hurt Netanyahu's chances when hard-liners already accuse him of being too soft on Hamas, the militant Palestinian group that rules the Gaza Strip.

Another article..

President Trump is reportedly anxious to unveil the plan as soon as possible, and is still eyeing a December 2018 release.
Senior officials within the Trump administration, however, advised the president to delay the peace plan’s rollout, especially if Israel holds early elections.
Ambassador David Friedman reportedly advised against releasing the peace plan during the Israeli election season, saying turning the election for the 21st Knesset into a referendum on the peace deal would be a mistake.

The problem will be the fact they are talking about holding the election at the end of March, by the time they get a coalition it will be close to May before they can approach the deal again. And like your article states..

Trump Says Saudi Arabia Must Remain an Ally Despite 'Very Vicious' Khashoggi Killing
https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/trum...ling-1.6660468
He has tooooo much riding on it. big shrug
House extends U.S. support for Saudis in Yemen as concerns mountU.S. lawmakers of both parties have lamented the mounting death toll and humanitarian crisis in Yemen's civil war, where civilian casualties have surged more than 160% in recent months and famine imperils 14 million. Yet little-noticedprocedural votes in the House this week will prevent Congress from having to debate America’s continuing role in the conflict.Why it matters: The House votes foreclosed debate on a bipartisan attempt to invoke the War Powers provision, which would have halted all U.S. support to the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi rebels.

Netanyahu said he warned the coalition party heads against dissolving the government. "I told them that we cannot repeat the mistakes that members of the government made in 1992 when they dissolved a Likud government, forming the government that gave us the disastrous Oslo Accords. I told them we cannot make the same mistakes as the government in 1999, when they dissolved and brought the Intifada upon us."
Netanyahu also announced that he intends to keep the defense portfolio and said he understands the public's criticism of recent events in Gaza, but asserted he has a plan: "I will not say when we will act and how. I have a clear plan. I know what to do and when to do it. And we will do it."Last edited by cnav; 11-18-2018, 08:44 PM.
