Peloni: As we return to the days of shuttle diplomacy last witnessed during the Biden administration when a gaggle of US delegates tried to strong arm Israel into capitulating to Hamas, we now see a new gaggle of US delegates arriving in Israel to most likely coerce Israel on this same path towards certain folly. The choice of two Qatari allied negotiators (Kushner/Witkoff) to act in place of any fair arbiter was very telling, something which was reinforced by the fact that these negotiators themselves don’t see their conflict of interest as anything but a strength – a description which should lead us to believe that they in no way tried to self correct for this bias. With this in mind, we should grasp the import upon which this duo chose to impose upon Israel, not only that Israel have no right to secure a final victory over the Qatari aligned Hamas, but that Israel also have a responsibility to deal with the needs of the population in Gaza, even as Hamas is being left to reassert its victimization of that same population. The lack of interest or sympathy by Kushner/Witkoff for the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza being returned to the unkind rule of the Qatari aligned Hamas parallels the lack of interest or sympathy for the Israelis who are now being tasked with having to deal with a cone of protection which has been placed over Hamas during this ‘temporary’ period of Hamas rule, a period which has no end in sight. In fact, the Qatari influence over Kushner and Witkoff, something which these two managers continue to represent as a strength, seems to have received the best aspect of this deal. At best, Hamas will either survive this war and at worst they have been given the means by which to return to battle in a better position, regrouped, re-armed, and with the Israelis being designated by Trump’s own negotiators as having been responsible for the needs of the Palestinian Arabs going forward. This insipid, anti-American, anti-Western and antisemitic Qatari influence scam must be removed from Washington, but it seems the opposite is what has been decided instead.

Despite the recent settlement, Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have significant financial interests involving Qatar, the state sponsor of Hamas, went on 60 Minutes. They did it because they knew they would find a friendly audience to bash Israel.
