If I could be a fly on the wall when Kamala Harris meets with Benny Gantz today. ... She will come away from that meeting with a headful, for sure. It will be back to school for Kamala, a reality check in one short lesson. If only an NPR news editor would accompany her!

Apparently she did not meet with Netanyahu in Israel, so is meeting with his political opponent Gantz during a stateside visit. Biden, for his part, announced last week that a ceasefire was about to happen, and Netanyahu responded with surprise.

A few weeks ago, the Prime Minister blocked Sec. of State Blinken from meeting privately with the Cabinet minister of war. Embarrassing.

This Administration is just bumbling around, making fools of themselves and annoying the Israelis. If they were actually serious about ending the conflict, they could try acting like an ally and show no air between us and Israel, which might convince Hamas, Hez et al to make concessions. By showing more annoyance and impatience with Israel than, apparently, with the actual perpetrators of Oct. 7, Biden has merely encouraged the enemy to keep up the fight.
