The David Hunter Perspective - 2024-06-05

Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

1)President Biden Announces "Israeli Proposed Gaza Peace Plan"?: Last week, at the White House, President Biden held a formal press briefing and outlined a three part "Israeli Peace Plan" for ending the war in Gaza. He said it was Israel's offer, and urged Hamas to immediately accept it to bring peace and relief to hostages and Palestine civilians. But oddly, it seems Israel's Prime Minister wasn't aware of this plan, and now says his conditions for any permanent cease fire are unchanged. What is going on?

2)Ukraine to Use US Supplied Weapons To Strike Inside Russia?: Last week, Biden administration officials announced they would allow Ukraine armed forces to hit targets inside Russia with US supplied artillery and rockets. This is seen as increasing the risk of Russian escalation of war to include their hitting targets beyond Ukraine, perhaps even Romania or Poland. Was this a good idea?

3)Elections in India and Mexico: This week, India completed it's long 'rolling election' for Prime Minister, and the current occupant Mr. Narendra Modi of the BJP just won a third term of office. In Mexico, a woman candidate---one of two running--won. Both these countries are large and democratic, and important partners to America in both economic and security affairs. How do you see things going forward?
