You mean the one israel would have violated if Trump hadn't offered to exterminate 1.9 million civilians for free so Bibi didn't have to stress about the whole international death warrant for the most horrifying crimes against humanity since the nazis thing?
This is trash journalism. @npr.org you should be ashamed for abetting fascists and pushing their narrative. We will remember how you behaved when democracy was under fire.
Just a reminder that President Biden put peace negotiations in place & the only reason for the delay was Netanyahu didn't want to give Biden a win & held out.
I don't think much credit is due to Witkoff for negotiating Fogel's release. Fogel was a hostage, taken by Russia to create leverage for the release of Russians. In this case, they bought the release of crypto-criminal Alexander Vinnik with Fogel.
What an incredibly charitable headline for a man who has no business being in the role he’s been given for being a damn wealth donor to a criminal / rogue President.
Russia ‘ we want you to free our top crypto mega criminal, in exchange we’ll give you a hapless weed head.’ US, ‘Ok’. Russia ‘well that concludes the negotiations.’
NPR, you should be ashamed with your sane-washing, kid-gloves handling of this topic.
Do you really think you'll be safe in this new US fascist regime if you do this?
Every time you bend the knee you betray your country & the people.
(Just 'cause others are doing doesn't mean you have to, too.)
Elon Musk staffers are, the OPM Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski. (GSA), Stephen Ehikian, Thomas Shedd, and Nate Cavanaugh. Treasury Tom Krause and Marko Elez. For real journalists, see Alt National Park Service for more.
Another businessman with zero qualifications to take on a position of power in hyper-complex negotiations that require diplomacy, charisma, wisdom and in-depth knowledge of the region. He knows how to build golf courses. Yay.
Come on, NPR, you should know that this fawning puff piece about another old, rich white guy who plays golf and is in no way qualified to be in the position he's in would not do well here on Bsky. We see right through this BS.

Yeah, another rich trump buddy. Only the best people.
Basically Witkoff did what Russia had planned.
Not sure that's what can be called a good deal

This man is just playing out an agreed upon script by RuZZia.
Right.
That's a war crime.
It doesn't take a genius to see where this is going.
