Belgian PM Vets Palestine, Envoy Hopes For ‘One Way Or Another’

In a diplomatic episode that sounds like Tinder but with geopolitics, Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever gathered his deputies for a romantic meet-up about recognising the State of Palestine—only if the guests pass some mysterious conditions. Meanwhile, US special envoy Steve Witkoff basically shrugged to reporters that 'we think we’re going to settle this one way or another,' which sounds like a hostage negotiator deciding between pizza or death. Add Marco Rubio prepping to chit-chat with Gideon Saar—because why not complicate the friendship bracelet session further? All this unfolding on August 27, 2025, proving once again Middle East peace talks are more elusive than Wi-Fi on a desert island.
