Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has never been one to let ideological or moral concerns diminish his insatiable lust for power. Control of the political narrative through manipulation of the media has been central to his staying power. 

It would take extreme (and probably unfounded) optimism, or more probably sheer insanity, to find any positives in what is currently taking place between Israel and the Palestinians. To portray it as a “miracle” brings insane ideological extremism to new heights altogether.
