Please ask Mr. Haas to talk about the Arab States view of the situation and the possibility of them participating in creating an avenue for resolution of this conflict, at least in the short term.

This is an example of mainstream western media on Substack. They prop up the United States of Israel at the cost of thousands of innocent lives. Terrible non-journalism and thoughtless analysis to whitewash an unprovoked invasion of another country. I wonder what these two said about the WMD and the unwarranted murderous Iraq war of 2003.

Israel has to find strength to invite other regional members into this negotiations as no one benefits from nuclear weapons in Iran. This will demand accountability & put pressure on Iran to comply with its non-nuclear proliferation obligations.

There is urgency into this by the fact that Brics is expanding which reduces Irans vularability to sanctions. Irans weapon sale to Russia also increases Iran's capability to develop any weapons they want as a result of technology exchange with Russia.

Israel need to keep their military capability an all out war with Iran without regional support will lead to direct confrontation with other arab-muslim states in the region & may lead to escalation of war accross the Region.

Mr. Haase, Do you think a two state solution for Palistein could finally reslove this ongoing horrorific situation between Arabs, Muslims and Jews. In my opinion, the occupation and ongoing settlements on their land after the 67 war. is why the people in the middle east feel the way they do about Isreal. Al Cenci Sarasota, Florida

Israel occupied the territory following the 67 war to trade it for peace, but because the Arabs were not interested in peace, the occupation continues. When Israel decided to unilaterally withdrawal from Gaza, instead of being less upset as your theory predicts, they used it to attack Israel further.
