Bessent says US considers doubling aid to Argentina to $40B. If they can get away with $20B why not $40 or more? Who will stop them? Not this Congress! politi.co/4qbXNlf via @politico

The assistance is aimed at bolstering the country's collapsing currency and calming economic unrest before Oct. 26 midterm elections.

Part of the problem for politicians like Booker is that they are so deep into it that it's very hard to change course. If Booker had said "yes, Netanyahu is a war criminal," the obvious follow up question would have been: Then, why did you meet with him after the ICC issued a warrant for his arrest?

It's laughable that Cory Booker thinks that his avoidance of saying the obvious makes him an "effective leader," as a majority of the Democrats he aspires to lead say Israel has committed genocide.

Whereas Harris told MSNBC that she believes whether or not Israel has committed genocide is a fair and honest question to ask, Cory Booker explicitly said to the "I've Had it" podcast that he thinks addressing the question of whether Netanyahu has committed crimes would undermine resolving conflict.

As many worry Trump's ME policy is being manipulated by Netanyahu, this article in Israel's Maariv sees the opposite: "Trump is already dividing the Middle East - and Israel has no place at the table"

טראמפ כבר מחלק את המזרח התיכון - ולישראל אין מקום בשולחן

In Trump's mind, the Gaza deal is principally a hostage release deal. There is no evidence he has any empathy with Palestinians or cares about their plight:

Hamas has not yet publicly agreed to or signed anything that specifies how it would disarm, but Trump suggested he had received verbal assurances.
