Mideast, everything the same

Mideast is boiling again (is already a truism). The military option of an Israeli attack against Iran is still on table, rhetorically or effectively, mainly in an electoral context, three months before of the legislative elections in Israel. The Road Map for peace didn’t get too much beyond its basic starting point, despite the intensive diplomatic efforts of the White House, including in the very last days before the US presidential elections. Everything is continuing to be hard to predict, not because the data are lacking, but because at any moment an unexpected reversal of the situation could occur. Another cliché.
