    My point was there's no diplomatic relations between them to deteriorate. So Oman coming out and saying that means absolutely nothing in the context of your post.

    It also doesn't recognise the state of Israel so it's simply incorrect to present this as evidence of diplomatic relations deteriorating. As there are none.

    They have ‘normalised’ relations with Israel though and in practical terms, whatever their official diplomatic stance, they act as a bridge when it comes to negotiations and talks between two opposing sides.

    Any deterioration in that relationship is bad news for resolving the conflict

    Whether Netty is a madman or not, Israel have left this to fester for far too long resulting in a massacre of their people (7th Oct). While the israeli population were building safe rooms, wannabe aggressors were building tunnels. Regardless of how I think, I put myself in the mind of the Israeli leader, would I take this opportunity once we've bombed a few more Hezbollah out of Lebanon, you bet I would. I will add a side note that I want Israel to leave Lebanon alone, and I'm hoping once their intelligence led missions are done, they will do so.

    The wast doesn't need an intermediate to talk to the Arab states as we have perfectly decent relations with them after all Saudi Arabia has an American military base on their territory and we supply most of their air force .

    Or 7th Oct was a response to decades of occupation, subjugation, false imprisonment, torture by Israel. Not saying it’s right, but it happened in context. From an Israeli perspective I can see why they want to go full tonto, because they are bullies backed by a massive Arsenal and they want to reshape the region in their favour.

    At its root though. This is about Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine

    I’m not talking about the Saudis though. I’m talking about those countries like Oman, who are seen as Western allies, but also have the ear of Iran.

    Likewise mate, I disagree with your stance, but I guess we’re in a privileged position to do so without the risk of ourselves or our families being blown to bits.

    The whole thing is ****ed up. And it comes down to power hungry men on both sides who don’t give a flying **** about human life

    Word on the street is that Hezbollah are looking for quite a few new Commanders, get in there quick to avoid disappointment...make sure you take out life insurance before you join and it's a policy that can be claimed on from day one lol.
