But looking at how the two sides have behaved, it's obvious who wants the war, and who will fight it only because they're forced to.

FATPad, I'm afraid I don't agree that a total war is inevitable.
The current situation is the best for the Arab countries.
Israel is bleeding without them lifting a finger.
In a total war, they have everything to lose.
Let's say, like in 48, 3,4 or 5 armies will fight Israel.
Well, if things will not go smoothly the conventional way, and if a sword will be put upon Israel's neck, there's no doubt that Israel will turn the Arab countries into moon duplicates by nuking them.
That's why we strived to get the nuclear option in the first place: deterrence from an all out war.
Arab leaders are not that stupid.
They know they can't win a total war with Israel.
