About that  Ukraine-Russia War , and the meeting in Saudi Arabia about a ceasefire: Ukraine welcomes this proposal. We see it as a positive step, and we are ready to take it," Zelenskyy said. "The United States must now persuade Russia to do the same. If Russia agrees, silence will take effect immediately." So what's happening in the  Gaza Strip  these days? Israel has for 11 days now blockaded the region with no food, fuel or medicine allowed to cross into the territory. Deadly Israeli attacks continue. There is a new round of negotiations in Qatar. Latest info has 61,700 dead Palestinians. What about Trump's plans to convert the Strip into a tourist resort?  No one in the Middle East likes it. Six days ago on March 4, only a few days after the end of the first phase ceasefire, a  Palestine Summit  was held.
