#1 Analysts say Israel could potentially use the chaos a future Assad ouster would create

Timing is everything.

#2 If there is a war, and Gaza does *anything* provocative, the Israelis should push the entire population into Egypt, and be done with it.

This doesn't mean they have to occupy Gaza, just plow it flat, and leave it barren, for use as a military training area, with anyone who enters it subject to artillery fire.

#4 What of Jordan. Looks like business as usual. "Jordan officially requested to be excluded from implementing Arab League sanctions on Syria to avoid possible damage to the Kingdom’s interests, a senior official at the foreign ministry said on Monday". With winter produce shipments will increase. Air traffic has been reduced about 50% with Syria. They look for trade with Iran but currently enjoy trade with Europe and Turkey. So things appear stable here. Should Syria fall into disarray the temptation to act could be overpowering for Israel regarding Iran and Gaza.

#6 Bulldoze it, napalm the ruins, then bomb the entire area just in case.
