"The Israelis may be trying to take advantage of that by threatening unilateral withdrawal, but that could get Barak into trouble if Hezbollah starts firing rockets directly into Israel." Which may be why Israel has been reluctant to strike too hard in Lebanon for fear of hampering a resumption of talks with Syria. But while the high-stakes brinkmanship between Israel and Syria continues, Hezbollah is more than happy to accrue the spoils...
