All right, Alexander. Let's talk about the situation in Israel and Gaza, specifically in Gaza and Rafa.

We've had statements from Israeli officials saying that they are going to enter Rafa, even if the U.S.

tells them not to enter, even if the entire world condemns them,

condemns them. We've actually heard a statement from an Israeli official say as much, even if the

entire world turns against Israel and condemns them. They don't care. They're going to enter

Rafa. Meanwhile, you have Anthony Blinken.

He was in Cairo, and Anthony Blinken is signaling that they're trying to put together some sort of a ceasefire as well as a post-Gaza governance plan or something along those lines with various Arab nations.

And it looks like the big condition to get the ceasefire approved from the Israeli side,

as well as Hamas, but mostly from the Israeli side, is to straighten out the

terms for the hostage releases, for the release of hostages. And that's where everything is

kind of, kind of hinging on. Anyway, what is the situation in Gaza, in Rafah, in Israel, and with Anthony

Blink in Egypt? Yeah, I mean, I think before we discuss this, I think it's important to go back

and go back to what we were saying much earlier over the conflict, because we have repeatedly

made the point in our various programs that there is a

steady big build-up of diplomatic and political pressure around the world. The United States has

been isolating itself. It's become increasingly isolated by vetoing ceasefire resolutions of the Security Council. It is losing support.

The administration has been losing support in some key American states, Michigan, for example,

because of that. But by taking that stance, it's also seen its support, support for the US, collapse in the Middle

East itself. It's become increasingly isolated in the Middle East, and it's seen that the global

majority is starting to build up against it. And we also make the point sooner or later,

if the United States persisted in taking the stance that it was taking.

Probably there would be a referral to the General Assembly and we might even start eventually to see moves towards pushing for a Uniting for peace resolution, imposing a ceasefire.
