i'm going to bring it in now. dalia dawson k. she's a senior fellow at the u. c. l. a burchell center for international relations. she is currently a full bright visiting scholar in sweden at luna university. she joins us now from sweden. it's good to have you with this all the, you know, so far we've heard from him off that it will not agree to any deal unless that it gets a guarantee that is we're able to pull out of gaza and stop the fighting. israel has rejected that. so are these negotiations working on non starters? well i think they're still attempts to get a breakthrough. i'm sure this is the highest priority in for secretary, blinking on his current trip. there is a real need to put a whole lot to this fighting, at least for a shorter term by the us still continues to oppose the permanent ceasefire, but there needs to be a stop in the hostages must get out. so it isn't looking good at the moment, but a lot of insurance happening behind the scenes. and hopefully there will be a breakthrough. yeah, it's not looking good. let's talk a moment about optics here.
