      Axios in the near future...

      According to a senior aide - "The president forcefully pushed back and told the Prime Minister Netanyahu the chaos caused by the IDF's incursion into Rafah must end."

      "I hear you. I see you. I am listening to you."

      "I don't understand."

      "I know."

          Here's some inside-the-beltway gossip for the lanyards and there will be more sprinkled throughout. Don't you feel part of DC this way?

          • Why this is important. As a reporter I have a certain number of words to put in this section so I gotta do this. Hold on - I need a couple more. Done!

           

          Now here's some more inside-the-beltway gossip for the lanyards. If you're reading along - don't you feel clever?
