Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

1)Indian Prime Minister Modi Dedicates Massive New Hindu Temple: The new 'Ram Mandir' temple dedicated to Hindu god Ram was built over the ruins of a Muslim mosque built in 1528 under the Mogul Emperor Babur. That mosque, called  Babri Masjid (Babur's Mosque) was destroyed by Hindu religious extremists in 1992. What does this new Hindu temple say about Hindu-Muslim relations in India today?

2)Pakistan and Iran Fight in Baluchistan: The Iranians and Pakistanis have traded attacks on the long 800 mile border crossing through Baluchistan. What is the situation there, and could a wider war break out? If so, what would be the consequences in the region?

3)Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu Openly Rejects Two State Solution to Palestine Dispute: In direct defiance of US President Joe Biden, Israeli PM Netanyahu openly rejected calls for a two state solution to the ongoing Gaza War. Why is he taking this position, and what should the US do next?
