All right, Alexander, let's talk about the recent meeting between Russian President Putin and the king of Bahrain.

Let's talk about what they talked about, what they discussed.

Let's also talk about what is happening in Saudi Arabia.

Actually, I think MBS accepted an invitation to go to Iran as well.

That happened a couple of days ago.

And we can also touch on the ICJ statement with regards to Rafa for Israel to stop its

operations into Rafa, which has led, predictably, has led to the U.S. and the UK,

basically giving Israel the green light to escalate into Rafa.

I think that was very predictable after the ICJ statement.

Escalation happened, which, okay. We could talk about that as well. Anyway, let's begin with Putin and the

the King of Bahrain. Yeah, I mean, this is a story that has not attracted the attention that it

deserves.

There's been a meeting of the Arab League.

The Arab League is, of course, the umbrella body that brings together the Arab states.

It is perennially divided.

It always has been throughout the time that I've known.

Various times, it's been dominated by different parties.

In the 60s, it was dominated by Nassas. Egypt.

More recently, it's been dominated by the Gulf states.

Anyway, it has come up with a plan upon which this time it is fully united for an international peace conference

to settle the Arab-Israeli dispute. Now, this is an idea that was first floated by the Chinese foreign

minister Wang Yi some months ago.
