On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we discuss a new report from HuffPost about President Biden' s top official Brett McGurk pursuing a proposal to restore peace in the Middle East by brokering diplomatic ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia while funneling Saudi money toward Gaza’s reconstruction.
Multiple US officials who spoke with HuffPost described the proposal and shared doubts about its likelihood to succeed, with one official calling it "delusionally optimistic."
