Two weeks ago, SOS Blinken traveled to Doha, Qatar, to negotiate with the key Hamas mediators to seek the much-discussed cease-fire. It was all part of a two-day, four-country tour of the Middle East. Arriving for negotiations on Wednesday, June 12th, he departed a couple of hours later. He stayed just long enough for a cup of coffee and a photo op. A profound opportunity to discuss, at length, the objectives for peace with the Hamas representatives was missed.
