This sounds a lot like what North Korea did with the Clinton adminstration. Wasn't a good idea then to back down and actually assist NK with their nuke efforts, and it certainly isn't a good idea now.

I can think of no concessions that an Arab nation has ever made to Israel. I can think of many that Israel has made to Arab nations. All land that is disputed is land that Israel took when they were attacked at various times by various surrounding Arab nations. On this, however, there will ne no concessions made. There is no way Israel will allow Iran to acquire a functioning nuclear facility.
