Hello,

I am reading an article in an newspaper about the relation's deterioration between USA and Israel and I need your help for the following sentence, see below:

"This is a major crisis," says Dan Brumberg of the U.S. Institute of Peace. "The United States and Israel have to find a way to stand back from the brink."

When I read the bold part of this sentence I understand that these two countries must find a way to get back to the previous situation. Am I right or wrong?

Thanks a lot for your cooperation. (Please, if you find a mistake or more in my question, do not hesitate to correct me, I am here to improve my level).
