I'd be remiss to try and guess.

No, I think it's the ornamentalism of saying we've assembled this collection of nations that are all committed to ensuring that Gaza doesn't devolve into some Islamist hellhole and that IDF soldiers don't go in there and start shooting people up again.

I mean the problem with this is –

It's contingent upon other Middle Eastern countries deploying troops to secure Gaza.

And guess what?

Other Middle Eastern countries do not want to do that because the last thing the Arabs or the Turks want to do is get into a shooting war with Palestinians.

Right.

The only one who seems to credit this in journalistic circles is Barack Ravid, because he's just spoon fed.

heaping piles of horseshit by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

I have to credit Steve Witkoff in one respect.

I mean, Barack Ravid, he worked in signals intelligence in Israel.

And usually you think Israeli spies are good at recruiting Americans, but here's a case of an American real estate developer from the Bronx who seems to have recruited an Israeli spy.

Nobody I know

thinks this has a chance of working.

Like nobody I know, Mark Palmaropoulos, who worked the Middle East for decades in CIA, just thinks this thing is a joke, right?

It's all pageantry.

It's declaring victory, mission accomplished.

Here's the board of peace.

Gaza's all sorted.

No, don't worry about it.
