pbel, et al,
Bruce Riedel is a retread (30 year CIA). He'll write whatever you want.
I'm glad you acknowledge that there are no US Forces involved.
There are no US troops fighting in Israel.
Yes it is a National Security Threat. If the truth be known, nearly everything is a national security threat.
He says nothing constructive. In fact, the biggest threat is the SECSTATE (Kerry) getting involved. He has no special skill set to apply in the negotiations.
Most Respectfully,

(COMMENT)pbel, et al,
What!
(QUESTION)Could you be a bit more specific about which military engagements US troops were involved in between Israel and their surrounding neighbors?
Yes, I would like to here this answer!

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a national security threat to America. Indeed, American lives are being lost today because of the perpetuation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A peace agreement is a, if not the, key to achieving most of our goals in the greater Middle East. It is not the solution to everything; it is not a panacea. But that is an unrealistic standard. "Solving the Arab-Israeli conflict won't solve every problem between Morocco and Bangladesh" is, frankly, a stupid reason not to try to move ahead and solve it.
