    Except the Americans, maybe. To them, that Israel is an honest actor is an (often literal) article of faith.

    Edit: Three days on, this story hasn’t exactly held water. I still doubt long-term peace is on Netanyahu’s agenda, because of the whole “lost election = jail” thing, but apparently a ceasefire on the way fits in somehow.
