U.S. put a hold on an ammunition shipment to Israel. This is a clear shot across Bibi’s bow as he talks about defying Biden’s opposition to a Rafah operation. The gloves are off! Hopefully more responsible Israeli leaders will intervene. www.axios.com/2024/0…

When Bibi needs help he doesn’t hesitate to run to Uncle Joe for protection. But when Biden needs help the answer is either “no my coalition won’t let me” or “maybe” with so many conditions and loopholes that it turns out to be a “no.” www.axios.com/2024/0…

Now that’s interesting: Israel is now open to discussing "sustainable calm" in Gaza after an initial hostage release. In other words, Israel is open to ending the war if it can get the hostages back. www.axios.com/2024/0…

From what one can see on CNN, Iran’s drones and missiles are targeting Jerusalem! That has almost never happened before because of the sanctity of the Holy City for Muslims. Maybe Iran doesn’t value Al Quds in the same way?
