Security questions must be taken seriously, but they carry less and less weight, because a sufficiently long period can be left between the treaty’s conclusion and its full implementation to resolve them by mutual agreement. But Israel’s current passivity – with all of its negative long-term consequences for the country – is likely to continue as long as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu considers his coalition’s survival more important than a decisive peace initiative.
虽然安全问题必须认真考虑，但由于双方在上述和平条约的签署和全面实施之间会有足够时间对此进行协商，它们所占的分量已经日渐减轻了。但只要总理内塔尼亚胡继续认为自己执政联盟的生存比一个决定性和平方案更重要的话，以色列目前的消极——以及所有将对这个国家造成的长期后果——都将依然存在下去。
