seeing the middle east and also the upcoming visit of us secretary of state antony blinking moon rabbani is the co editor of john leah, an online magazine dedicated to covering the contemporary middle east and he joins us now from the hague. when thank you for being with us. it does seem like a lot of diplomacy has been continued here behind the scenes, even since the sci fi came into effect. do you have a sense of where those discussions right now and how long they've been construct might fit into all of that? yes, i think what's happening is that the americans are gradually taking charge of israeli palestinian related diplomacy. and i think it's important to understand where they're coming from to understand where they are going at the outset of the biden administration, both biden and his secretary of state, lincoln made very clear that this issue was for them not a priority that they had more important domestic and foreign policy chop challenges they wanted to deal with. and because of the developments of the ground on the ground, they became involved once again. so against that back
