    In a brief exchange with reporters as he left St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Biden was asked if there was progress, and he responded, “Yes,” but did not share specifics.

    This comes after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with his Arab counterparts Saturday. He disagreed with them on the need for an immediate cease-fire and made clear the furthest he would go was backing a pause for aid to reach civilians in Gaza. Blinken said a cease-fire would leave Hamas in place.

    Secretary Blinken has a heart and a brain. All the communists and socialists have no clue what is the reality. I cannot wait for Donald Trump to become a president of the US.

    Certainly, there is be a pause. Surely, the fighting will end. But is now the right time for these things?
