So everyone are communicating with me. The Chinese, the Iranians, the pro western Arab, the Americans and the Israeli.
This is the analysis.
First of all, the Iranians are beginning to talk about a fair and balanced deal. Which essentially means, that they are ready to make a deal, where they still retain power to a specific threshold, but are willing to negotiate about the other things.
The clerics are not evil, at least not what I have experienced. They are extremely strict and do everything by the book. But that is not same as evil.
So, if there is a good argument for a deal, that they can feel that is within their own self respect. They are open.
They want to DEBATE, and not being dictated. At least this is their comment.
The Chinese have openly sought alliances within the Arab world, but has, so far, been met with rejection by most Arabs. But there is a connection, that can potentially be strengthened, if and when this war goes on.
Also, the Chinese are TRYING, to play both sides. Offering to be part of the Gaza peace process AND feeding IRGC intel.
So in many ways, this is a bit bodged to me. Playing all sides at the same time. Offering what?
I am for peace, so we will see.
But for now, it boils down to the negotiations. Can they work?
I know, that the fire and decisiveness of the American led offense is what is making the momentum now. So that is that.
All in all, the rest of the players in the Middle East are scrambling for strategy that makes sense.
G-d bless the will of the creator.
