another side note

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One returning from the G20 meeting in the German city of Hamburg, Gary Cohn, director of the White House National Economic Council, said Trump and Macron enjoyed a great relationship.

You know, Macron and the president have somewhat different views on how to achieve the end goal, but I think the end goal is the same, Cohn said.

The reason the IMF, World Bank etc. didn't have a problem with Trump's ideas and in fact actually promoted many of them even prior to his election. Articles were posted in here at the time.

While Russia has already sent its own troops in to oversee affairs, a fully functioning monitoring center has yet to be opened as planned in Amman, Jordan. And according to Ayman Abdel Nour, founder of the pro-opposition humanitarian aid organization Syrian Christians for Peace, a lot of what has happened on the ground is smoke and mirrors.

On the first day, there were still Hezbollah flags there. Then somebody told them simply just to change to Syrian flags rather than withdrawing to trick everybody, he said, adding that there has been a small amount of bombing in the targeted area.

The U.S. decision, said one of the officials, is part of an effort by the administration to improve relations with Russia, which along with Iranian-supported groups has largely succeeded in preserving Assad government in the six-year-civil war.

Israel Stuck Between a Trump Rock and Putin Hard Place Over Syria Cease-fire

The dispute between Israel and the U.S. administration regarding the agreement establishing a security zone in southern Syria is based on two arguments: that the United States and Russia did not take Israel security interests into account, and that the agreement firmly establishes Iran in Syria. As a result, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the agreement is bad and should be ditched.

Russian troops for Quneitra in defiance of Israel

Quneitra is just 5km from Israel border and the line of IDF positions defending it.
Israel has notified Washington and Moscow that it is flatly opposed to the presence of a Russian unit on its border. However, the US and Russian officers coordinating the ceasefire implementation agreed to recommend going forward with the Russian deployment. The White House and the Kremlin gave the officers recommendation the green light, virtually imposing it on Israel against its will.

Their argument is that the first ceasefire zone that was established last week in the Daraa front on the Jordanian border will quickly break down if it is not shored up by a second zone at Quneitra.

But the two zones differ in major respects, our military and intelligence sources emphasize.
The understandings drawn up for Daraa between the US, Russia and Jordan, included a clause explicitly providing for the withdrawal of Iranian and pro-Iranian forces, including Hizballah, to a point 40km west or north of the demilitarized town.
This clause never stood up for one moment.
