But during some of those conversations, managers have told staffers they should not expect to influence U.S. policy on Israel-Palestine regardless of their national security chops, according to five current and one recently departed State Department officials who talked to HuffPost.

Keep in mind, that Biden has asked for a humanitarian cease fire in Gaza. This information is like fresh of last night, so I don't expect news agencies to catch up fast.

It looks like Biden is lagging behind public opinion on this one, but he is turning course.

What that means going forward will depend on how much aid is let in Gaza by Israel.

Asking for a cease fire to move people out. Nothing about them being able to return to their homes or land.

Hitting the breaks on this whole mess is the first step. I will most certainly not call this a victory for just beginning.

But at least now the people in power understand that this is a problem. Versus the previous mindset of:" kill all humans, full speed ahead."

Forcing people out of their homes so that they can be occupied by Israel isn’t hitting the brakes, it’s accelerating it.
