Hillbilly version: the fox and the chickens will not coexist. Natural enemies may for a short time not fight but the time will be short and will end abruptly. Killing within the middle east has resumed. Not even a surprise. The various parties do not like each other. Of course, each party points to the other as the first violator of the peace accord.
