EIR News Interview: Dr. Gershon Baskin on the Gaza Ceasefire and the Path to Lasting Peace In this in-depth 28-minute conversation, renowned Israeli peace advocate and negotiator Dr. Gershon Baskin – the architect of the 2011 Gilad Shalit exchange and a key behind-the-scenes figure linking Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff with Hamas representatives – discusses how the current Gaza ceasefire was achieved and what must happen next for it to endure. Key points include: • President Trump’s critical intervention, made possible by regional cooperation and U.S. leadership in humanitarian coordination and multinational peacekeeping • The absolute necessity of large-scale economic development and reconstruction in Gaza – in line with the principles of the Oasis Plan – to create hope and overcome decades of mutual distrust • Why joint infrastructure projects involving Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Arab states, the United States, and China offer the most realistic path forward • The role Qatar can play in bridging U.S. and Chinese cooperation, and why excluding BRICS nations would undermine the Abraham Accords and regional prosperity • Marwan Barghouti’s possible release: Baskin’s long-standing support for it, concerns about his condition after years of harsh treatment, and the importance of free Palestinian elections • One-state vs. two-state realities: why only mutual recognition of each people’s right to national self-determination can work • Baskin’s positive response to the Westphalian principle of “the advantage of the other” and Nicholas of Cusa’s approach to resolving contradictions on a higher plane Here, one of Israel’s most experienced negotiators expresses strong alignment with the development-oriented, great-power-cooperation framework that EIR and the LaRouche movement have advocated for decades. 🔔 Subscribe to EIR News for strategic intelligence and solutions-oriented analysis #GazaCeasefire #OasisPlan #MiddleEastPeace #GershonBaskin #TrumpDiplomacy #ChinaMiddleEast #BRICS #TwoStateSolution #EconomicDevelopment -------- This video is copyrighted by EIR News Service Inc.

The Caribbean/Venezuela situation is extremely worrying. The worst since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. There is no reason for the military buildup other than the overthrow of Maduro. When overwhelming military assets are gathered, it becomes more than likely it will be used. A group of former leaders of Caricom, incuding Ramotar, issued a statement a week ago demanding the Caribbean remain a zone of peace. We are descending internationally into the law of the jungle. The U.S. fears the BRI, which the nations of the South find attractive because China actually build things. The U.S. views this as a threat, but they should not fear it. China targets no one. The U.S. can and should cooperate with the BRI. The U.S. has great potential historically for doing good. Xi Jinping’s policy coincides with the LaRouche proposals, they have the same intention of North-South cooperation. The interview ends with a warning about the danger of nuclear war, and an endorsement of EIR as a source of vital intelligence. -------- This video is copyrighted by EIR News Service Inc.

Leading into tomorrow’s 11am EIR Roundtable discussion on the increasingly dangerous situation in the Caribbean–led by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, and including participants from Venezuela, Brazil, Guyana, Mexico, and the United States–tonight’s report begins with two organizing items that address this hot issue. First we watch Diane Sare’s Latest Tiktok Video, where she speaks on the situation in Venezuela and how to actually stop the drug trade. Then we hear from Fabiola Ramirez (LaRouche Movement, Mexico) on the organizing done in Mexico this week to show that physical economic development with the BRICS+ and the Belt and Road Initiative provides an actual pathway for the Carribean region to develop and get out of any ‘drug wars.’ We then return to Paris, the location of our recent International Conference, for an on-the-ground organizing report given by younger members attending the conference from Brazil and Mexico.

President Trump said he's open to a diplomatic resolution with Venezuela instead of another disastrous regime change coup. He also announced a flip-flop on his decision to NOT release the Epstein files, bowing to the pressure for disclosure. But we are not yet guaranteed full disclosure. To get to the Deep State role, whether in pushing war against Venezuela or a cover-up of who was deploying and protecting Epstein, you must get the full picture. That's why you should subscribe to the EIR (see link for subscription below).

Will the growls and howls of the pro-war wolves drown out the reasonable voices calling for peace and development? Have we not seen enough war and destabilization to know it solves nothing, but makes matters worse? The City of London needs Permanent war, but the Global Majority is crying out for peace. That voice needs to be louder in the U.S., to overcome the censorship and brainwashing committed to war. The International Peace Coalition i(IPC) is playing a unique role in rallying forces to construct a new architecture for peaceful economic cooperation. Here is a link to a crucial dialogue on the method of self-development of the quality of mind needed to win this fight:

Your Friday questions will be answered by Harley: on the Ukraine war, signs of weakness in the U.S. economy, an update on moves by the Global Majority for economic cooperation, and the latest on the Epstein saga.

Tonight’s Weekly Battle Report explores highlights of last weekend’s November 8-9 LaRouche Movement conference “The Emancipation of Africa and the World Majority, A Challenge for Europe.” In video reports, Kynan Thistlethwaite (LaRouche movement, USA) and Clement (LaRouche movement, France), help give us the character of optimism and fighting spirit expressed by attendees. While the main conference was held live in Paris, France, simultaneous participation took place throughout the world! Participation included individuals and groups in at least 10 African countries, over a dozen countries in Ibero America, many European nations, and many of the states in the USA. Take note! The LaRouche movement didn’t stop organizing after the conference! Fabiola Ramirez gives this week’s Mexico LaRouche movement Activities report on street organizing they did on Tuesday. We also have reports on Veterans Day organizing in the USA: Richard Connelly and Harrison Elfrink report from the Veterans Day parade in New York City, and John Jambour and Betty Jennings report from the Veterans Day parade in Houston, TX.

There is an escalation in threats for a U.S. military intervention against Venezuela, and for more European involvement against Russia in Ukraine. It is legitimate to ask, "What are these 'leaders' smoking? How could they be so detached from reality?" You can hear a clinical dismantling of the Euro-fantasy retreat from the real world from Helga Zepp-LaRouche at 5 PM CET/11 AM EST, and progress in building a youth movement to face reality today -- use the link below.

Graham Fuller, a former US diplomat and CIA official, is a co-signer of a Nov. 5 Alert Memorandum to President Trump released by the Steering Group of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), which warns President Trump against plunging the U.S. into “a wider and/or `forever’ war” with Venezuela. EIR Ibero-American Editor Dennis Small interviewed Fuller on Nov. 7, noting the urgency of the issue, as the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier group is currently on its way across the Atlantic towards the Venezuelan coast, where it is expected to arrive Nov. 11—12. Fuller explained the reason for the VIPS warning: “What’s going on here? Why, in the middle of an appalling genocidal war in Gaza,” is the Trump administration considering a new war? The VIPS statement is meant as “a warning shot across the bow to suggest we’re drifting into another of these classic scenarios of a war that seems relatively pointless, cannot possibly achieve anything, and ends up miring the U.S. in a true quagmire.” Fuller emphasized that Russia, China and other nations of the Global South, such as the BRICS, no longer accept a world in which “the U.S. asserts its right to act with impunity.” A new paradigm of global relations is being demanded, and is needed. He stated that the U.S. “butting heads” with China and Russia is the wrong approach, and must give way to a change in the “potential nature of international relations… I want to emphasize, above all else, the question of human agency, which Helga Zepp-LaRouche has talked about… We’re not simply billiard balls on a table.” The U.S. has to change, Fuller concluded; above all “it’s a mind-set issue.”
