All right, Alexander, let's do a video on Blinken's trip.

I think that's what we should focus on.

This was an important trip, the diplomacy, just the general diplomacy that has taken place in the Middle East.

Blinken, I guess he's floating out there, a peacekeeper plan, I guess.

Maybe this is a plan B.

I guess plan A was people in Gaza, the residents of Gaza, to move south or to go into Egypt.

I guess that was plan A.

I mean, the New York Times is reporting on this saying that that was indeed what they were thinking of doing at the beginning of this war. And now we're talking about a peacekeeping force. But after the war is concluded, and he's traveling around the Middle East pitching this idea. Do I have it right? Is that what's going on?

Well, I think you basically got it right. When I use the word basically, I say that because what's coming out of the administration are these ideas which are clearly not thought through at all.

They're coming up also with ideas about humanitarian pauses as well. This is not noticed supposed to be a ceasefire. It's a pause. There are a couple of days and the fighting in Gaza to enable humanitarian relief supplies to go in. There's also this talk about peacekeeping forces. The trouble is nobody in the Middle East is interested in any of these ideas. And the reason it is they're not interested in these ideas is because people in the

Middle East understand that they're completely detached from reality. They don't reflect the

concerns the people in the Middle East have and to say it straightforwardly

they are essentially shaped these these plans if they can even call the plans are principally shaped

in order to fulfill the domestic political needs of the Biden administration, its own

electoral problems, which we're going to come to, I think, later in this program. But briefly,

let's start with what Lincoln did. So first he went to Israel. He met with Netanyahu,

in Tel Aviv, as I understand it.

The meeting did not go well. Blinken was bringing with him this idea of a humanitarian pause.

And he's been talking about the Biden administration has been talking about humanitarian pauses.

It's clear this is not a ceasefire.

As I said, it's only intended for a couple of days, maybe a week,

to allow supplies to enter in.
