The David Hunter Perspective - 2024-03-27

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)UN Security Council Passes Demand for Immediate Cease Fire in Gaza War: This past week, Russia and China ---both permanent members of the UN Security Council with veto powers---rejected a US proposal for immediate cease fire in Gaza conflict. Then on Monday, an alternative simpler draft passed with 14 votes in favor and US abstaining. What is going on?

2)Israel Land Grab In Palestine Occupied Territory?: Currently Israel just approved 300 new settlements in W. Bank and annexed 2,000 acres of land in Palestine's Jordan Valley area. This was done while US Secretary of State Blinken was in Israel trying to resolve the current Gaza crisis. Is this an intentional snubbing of top US official, designed to humiliate him? If so, why?

3)Al Shifa Hospital Raid: The Israel Defense Force's fourth assault on Al Shifa Hospital has continued for seven days. They claim to have captured 600 Hamas and other extremists in this latest raid including some high ranking Hamas leaders. Is it justified in attacking a hospital?

4)ISIS Attack on Moscow Crocus Stage: This week a branch of ISIS, -- called ISIS-K, ---sent four gunmen to attack a large concert in Moscow, killing over 100 Russian civilians.  What is ISIS-K, and why did they attack Russia?
