No Arab nation openly calls for the death of Israel. People get tired of fighting the same people for 60 year and that goes for both sides no doubt
It's more that Israel needs to call in the religous settlers off Palestinian and Syrian land and make a solid commitment to pull out. The rest would more then likely work like clock work.
Israel made treaties with Egypt which was the leader of the Arab forces which openly called for the death of Israel and they have sat down made peace and such. The same with Jordan. So the fear of some massive Arab attack is in a way more a delaying trick.

Its not a massive Arab attack that is the concern, its the very reasonable fear that if Israel has no right to project force into the West Bank and Gaza, then the next intifadah will be in Israel, and the IDF won't be able to pursue the attackers in Palestine. As well, why should Syria get the Golan Heights back? Half the population are Druze who serve in the IDF and wouldn't have it any other way, and the other half are Israeli settlers. It is also Israel's only means of defending its water supply, and the command of the heights reduces the risk of surprise attacks and artillery from being rained down on Northern Israel.
